Recommended Compression and Tension Adapters for Force Calibration: We buy a great force standard, we demonstrate metrological traceability, & we make a force measurement. Without the proper compression and tension adapters, the errors can be over 10 times that of the specification. This article discusses the importance of compression and tension adapters and provides solutions […]
What is a Load Cell? A load cell is a force sensor that receives a voltage (excitation) from a regulated power source (usually a digital indicator or signal conditioner) and sends back a low voltage signal (signal) when force is applied. The load cell signal is converted to a visual or numeric value by […]
Morehouse Shear Web Load Cells When high accuracy and low risk are critical, customers rely on Morehouse for our Precision Load Cell (Shear Web) These strain gauge-type load cells are often the choice for companies making field measurements in accordance with ASTM E4 and ISO 7500. Lower uncertainties allow fewer standards to maintain, significantly lowering […]
Portable Force Machine Solves Several Measurement Management Headaches. This paper examines several “bad” measurement practices, such as using multiple technicians to calibrate instruments (including hand-held dynamometers). Such practices include using a free-floating cable and stacking weights to calibrate a cable tensiometer. We discuss how a portable force calibration machine can be used to improve efficiency […]
What is Force? In his second law, Sir Isaac Newton stated that force controls motion; therefore, we must control the force if we are to control the motion. An example of force: I have an egg in my hand and want to break it by squeezing it in my hand. This egg will break at […]
Calibration Load Cell Morehouse Load Cells are often the choice for companies that make field measurements in accordance with ASTM E4, ISO 7500, and general field measurements, which may include checking the force of a production press. These load cells are suitable for the following uses: Applications where alignment is critical To calibrate other load […]
Are you having trouble figuring out all of the requirements for calculating a CMC for force uncertainty or torque uncertainty? This Excel sheet provides a template for calculating CMCs and explains everything required to pass an ISO/IEC 17025 audit. It took us hours to develop and is unlocked for anyone to have the tools needed […]
10+ Force Units and Conversions Force Units are interesting as almost anyone can do a search to find the conversions, however, are those search results always correct? We have looked at various force unit converters and decided to make a quick reference post on force units and the conversion to SI units, as well as […]
Low Capacity Load Cell Morehouse Low Capacity Cells are often the choice for companies that make field measurements in accordance with ASTM E74, & ASTM E4, ISO 376, and ISO 7500, and general field measurements, which may include checking the force of a production press. These load cells are suitable for the following uses: Applications […]
