Morehouse technicians have seen many different load cell issues and have lots of experience identifying and fixing the problems. With this experience, we developed a 7-Step Process for Load Cell Troubleshooting, which will reduce the hours wasted troubleshooting a nonworking load cell to diagnose the problem. Load Cell Troubleshooting Guidance is a must-read for any […]
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? […]
Aircraft Tension Meter Calibration Machine - Calibration Capability The Morehouse Aircraft Tension Meter Calibration Machine is capable of testing all types of dynamometers from 10 to 2,000 lbf, small load cells ranging up to 2,000 lbf, and cable tensiometers, including but not limited to C-5, C-6, C-7, C-8, and C-9 with the range of 10 […]
Force Calibration Adapters Guidance: Force-measuring instruments are susceptible to errors from improper adapters, misalignment, and not exercising the instrument to full capacity. Force Calibration Adapters Guidance guides replicating how the force-measuring instrument is used, keeping the line of force-free from eccentric error, and overcoming safety concerns with old adapters. Several force measurement errors can result […]
3 Ways to Prevent Damage to Your Force Calibration Equipment The purchase of force calibration equipment coupled with the calibration cost can be a large investment. Good, quality equipment provides a steady return on your investment for many years. Unfortunately, we see a lot of equipment damage such as broken connectors, severed cables, damaged load […]
Morehouse Cable Tensiometer The Mechanical Cable Tensiometer Calibrator (PCM-2MD-T1) provides safety, convenience, and fast turnaround with its all-around safety shield, fine calibration force control, and versatility to calibrate a large variety of instruments. The Cable Tensiometer is equipped with several time-saving features that enable a quality force calibration on a wide range of force sensors […]
Guidance on Uncertainty Budgets for Force Measuring Devices - A2LA: This provides guidelines for identifying all significant contributions to measurement uncertainty in the calibration of force-measuring instruments. It serves as a means for laboratories to be compliant with A2LA R205 – Specific Requirements: Calibration Laboratory Accreditation Program. If you enjoyed this content, check out our […]
The New Dimension to Resolution: Can it be Resolved? Our last blog, Device Resolution and the Impact on Consumer Risk, described why best practices should be followed for conformity assessments rather than drafting individual test protocols and standards. How should manufacturers and calibration laboratories correctly calculate both uncertainty and risk on equipment? Risk, Conformity Assessment, […]
Morehouse Universal Scale Calibrator The Morehouse Universal Scale Calibrator was designed to accommodate large, high-capacity scales used to weigh aircraft and heavy vehicles. As with any other calibration machine, it is as accurate as the reference standard (load cell or proving ring) with which it is used. Morehouse Universal Scale Calibrators are designed to speed […]
