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 […]
#3 Best Things to Know About Cable Tensiometer or Aircraft Tension Meter Calibration At Morehouse, we build force machines for all types of force applications including cable tensiometer calibration. We build machines and supply cable sets for aircraft cable tension meter calibration from Pacific Scientific, Opti Mfg, and types such as T5 & T60 cable […]
High-Capacity Mini 600k lbf Load Cell Morehouse Mini 600k lbf Cells are designed for companies that make field measurements in accordance with ASTM E4, ISO 7500, and as a reference standard where ultimate portability is preferred. This load cell with a top adapter weighs less than 40 lbs, making it lightweight and easy to carry. […]
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 […]
3 Things to Know About Crane Scale Calibration #1. What is a Crane Scale? A crane scale is typically a load cell or a load link with strain gauges. Crane Scales typically have large openings in upper shackles and larger hooks on the bottom. Some have digital displays, and others have large displays for […]
ISO 376 Compression Load Cell Morehouse Precision ISO 376 Compression Load Cells are critical when high accuracy and low measurement risk are needed. These load cells are designed for stability and reproducibility in calibrating testing machines following ASTM E4 and ISO 7500 standards, making them the #1 choice for field-use load cells (and an excellent […]
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 […]
2 Facts About How a Force Transducer Measures Force #1 What is a Transducer? In the broad sense of the term, a transducer is a device that turns one type of energy into another type. Some examples are: What is a transducer, battery example A battery is a transducer that converts chemical energy into electrical […]
Morehouse High Capacity Load Cells (Multi-Column Type) Morehouse High Capacity Load Cells (Multi-Column Type) are suitable for companies that make field measurements in accordance with ASTM E4 and ISO 7500 as reference standards where portability is preferred. These strain gauge-based cells offer less creep and better zero returns than single-column load cells. Their lower uncertainties […]
