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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Mass to Force Guidance: Using mass weights not adjusted for force can result in a large measurement error. The two major measurement parameters typically affected are force and torque. Any measurement involving force should use force. There are acceptable formulas for correcting mass weights to force to enable companies who use mass for these applications […]
