Concrete Compression Machine Calibration Kit The Concrete Compression Machine Calibration Kit is optimized for the calibration of concrete compression testing machines and other testing equipment in the field up to 600,000 lbf. The 600k lbf load cell included in the kit was specifically designed for field applications and, at 28 lbs, weighs considerably less than […]
Force Calibration Guidance for Beginners: If you are new to force calibration or metrology, the information can be overwhelming. This Force Calibration Guidance simplifies everything you need to know. Since force calibration is mechanical in nature, there are many factors to consider. Force Calibration Guidance for Beginners provides a basic understanding of force calibration, the […]
What is the Best Load Cell for a Reference Standard? What is the best load cell I can use as a reference standard? This question appears straightforward, but once we start to examine the issue, it takes a series of questions to answer. The most common answer is, "Well… that depends on what your expectations […]
Morehouse Universal Calibrating Machine The Universal Calibrating Machine (UCM) is a superior alternative to many expensive automated solutions. These machines often cost 50 % less than other manufacturers' fully automated solutions. However, an automated option is always available as an upgrade. Please visit Morehouse Automated Hydraulic Force Calibration System for information on our fully automated […]
Force Calibration Guidance for Technicians and Quality Managers covers more advanced force calibration topics, including loading conditions, adapters, verification of the adjustments, indicators, measurement uncertainty, and selecting the right calibration method. This force guidance will help anyone correct force measurement errors, resulting in better force measurements. If you enjoyed this content, check out our LinkedIn […]
How to Participate in an Interlaboratory Comparison (ILC) Many force calibration laboratories need help proving out their measurement capability. The ISO/IEC 17025:2005 listed interlaboratory comparisons (ILCs) in section 5.9.1. However, historically ILCs were not organized or completed because other less complicated methods were acceptable for monitoring the validity of the results. The current ISO/IEC 17025:2017 […]
Deadweight Calibrating Machine Capability Morehouse deadweight machines can calibrate ISO 376 Class 00, ASTM E74 Class AA, AS 2193 Class AA, and other force-measuring devices requiring the utmost accuracy. These include load cells, proving rings, crane scales, force gages, dynamometers, and other force-measuring devices. Morehouse has redesigned our deadweight calibrating machine to be more rigid, […]
There is a common misconception about equipment “being compliant” with ISO 376. Many struggle with how to use an ISO 376 calibration and put together an uncertainty budget. ISO 376 Uncertainty Guidance simplifies everything. ISO 376 Uncertainty Guidance provides guidance for the evaluation of measurement uncertainty in the calibration of force-measuring instruments to support CMC […]
How Do I Calculate TUR? How to Calculate TUR. Correctly calculating Test Uncertainty Ratio (TUR) is crucial because it is a commonly accepted practice when making a statement of conformity. It helps you analyze measurement risk and is often used in decision rules. Although TUR is defined in the ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 Handbook and ILAC G8, […]
