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, […]
Load cell dual-range calibration errors happen when a load cell is not loaded to full capacity. The molecules inside the load cell do not react potentially causing an increased error. What you need to know about molecule excitement decline and dual-range calibrations. Article from Test Magazine May 2016 issue. If you enjoyed this content, check […]
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, […]

Why a 4 to 1 TUR is Not Enough: The Importance of Analyzing the Probability of False Accept Risk: Several organizations and publications reference or insist on maintaining a 4 to 1 TUR (Test Uncertainty Ratio) without understanding the level of risk that they may be subjecting themselves to. The general thought is that if […]
Why Don’t My Load Cell Force Measurements Match My Calibration Report? You send your load cell out for calibration. When it returns, you begin using the load cell but notice that your measurements don’t agree with what the calibration lab reported. Why is there a discrepancy? This question has been posed to us in slightly […]

Top 5 Specifications to Consider for Load Cell Accuracy One of the most important considerations when purchasing a load cell is its accuracy. However, a load cell datasheet typically does not contain all the specifications needed to determine an accuracy statement. Which specification on a typical datasheet is most important? Do all specifications impact accuracy? […]
