Great News: NVLAP Accreditation Demonstrates Laboratory Competence Morehouse Instrument Company has received NVLAP accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The unbiased third-party evaluation by NVLAP reduces our internal risk and instills trust in the laboratory’s competence. The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), which is administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), provides third-party […]
Hand-held Force Gauge Calibration Adapter Value Kit These L-Shaped adapters are designed to properly mount and calibrate hand-held force gauges in a Morehouse Portable Calibrating Machine. The adapters ensure that the load line passes accurately through the loading axis of the force gauge. Accuracy in the manufacturing of these adapters, combined with the exceptional stability […]
Analyzing the Effects of Reducing the Ending Zero vs Ignoring the Trailing Zero on Measurement Instruments Used for Force Calibration (2014): ASTM E74 Method A and Method B—for the treatment of reducing the ending zero. Method A defines the deflection calculation as the difference between the deflection at an applied force and the initial reading […]
How Do I Calculate B Coefficients Using Data from My Force Calibration Report? At Morehouse, we generate calibration reports with both A and B coefficients. Any calibration performed following the ASTM E74 or ISO 376 standard will list both sets of coefficients. The A coefficients are used to solve for Response when the Force is […]
Prestressed Concrete Calibration Kit Available in 50k or 75k capacities, the kit is optimized for calibrations in prestressed concrete applications. Optional special top adapters help with better alignment and protection from concentrated forces. The load cell is a hollow compression canister type with a chrome cover jacket. It is designed with 0.75” through hole, which […]

How to Gain Confidence in Your Measurements In the book Good to Great a concept is illustrated with three intersecting circles, which determine your company’s hedgehog concept. The hedgehog concept is based on asking three questions. “ 1. What are you deeply passionate about? 2. What can you be the best in the world at? […]
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 […]
What is measurement risk? Measurement decision risk is the probability that an incorrect decision will result from a measurement. Are you telling your customers instrument passes without considering measurement uncertainty? If taken to court, are your measurement defensible? This paper examines the proper way to make statements of compliance. Download our Measurement Risk paper here. […]
