Deadweight Force Standard Stability: Proven Accuracy That Lasts Decades Deadweight force standards are universally recognized as the most accurate method for calibrating force-measuring instruments. These systems deliver exceptional performance, achieving expanded uncertainties as low as 0.001% of the applied force—far surpassing the capabilities of lever, hydraulic, or universal testing machines. What sets deadweight systems apart […]
Why is Force Important? Force measurement is performed so frequently that we take it for granted. Almost every material item is tested using some form of traceable force measurement. For example, the packaging on most materials, including soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, and processed foods, is checked for tensile, peel, compressive, and tear strength to ensure the […]
Tension and Compression Load Cells Morehouse Single-Column Tension and Compression Load Cells are available in capacities up from 300,000 lbf (1 335 kN) to 2,250,000 lbf (10 MN) in compression and from 300,000 lbf (1 335 kN) to 1,000,000 lbf (4 450 kN) in tension mode.
