Morehouse offers force training courses and torque training, both virtual and in-person. Our training courses are multiple days and teach the participant the fundamentals of force calibration. The force training course is excellent for all skill levels as we cover what matters most and what many people get wrong (measurement errors, troubleshooting, adapters, uncertainty, technique). […]
ASTM E74 Load Cell Selection Guide Download the spreadsheet for ASTM E74 load cell selection spreadsheet here. Many people get confused with load cell specifications and what they mean. When a company says the load cell is accurate to 0.01 % of full scale, what does that mean? If calibrated using the ASTM E74 standard, […]
Hydraulic Hand Pump It is the standard system for generating the hydraulic pressure for several Morehouse Calibrating Machines. It does not need an electric power source to operate. It has two speeds of operation to control the applied force to the force standard and unit under test. It offers a vernier for fine control of […]
So, how low can my load cell go? Like the Limbo, everything has a point where going lower is impossible. In this article, "How Low Can My Load Cell Go?" Morehouse Instrument Company President Henry Zumbrun provides three things to consider regarding measurement uncertainty when you ask how low your load cell can go. The […]
Load Cell Loading: Thread Engagement Errors Morehouse has covered this topic in previous videos and blogs. However, it is important enough to write another blog about thread engagement. Why is it important? In a typical female thread design, the modeling is done with “assumptions” on the thread engagement. A standard rule is to assume the […]
