Morehouse Ring Force Gauge Guide is a .pdf file with information about Morehouse ring force gauges for verification and calibration purposes. The ring force gauge is a simple, reliable, and low-cost force measurement instrument for monitoring a measurement process, calibrating other force-measuring instruments, or verifying a machine in calibration. It is ideal for applications where […]
In the last Back-to-Basics blog, I covered Calibration versus Verification. As I continue to cover basic concepts for beginners, this blog will define measurement uncertainty and examine why it is important. What is Measurement Uncertainty? What measurement uncertainty is not is an error. It is imperative to understand the difference between these two terms as […]
Portable Sensor Display (PSDS) The Portable Sensor Display allows the simple display of strain bridge-based measurements, such as load cells and pressure gauges, with sensitivity up to ± 480 mV/V. The common application for these Portable Sensor Displays as an indicator for use with most Morehouse load cells is 2 -4 mV/V output, set up to […]
Aircraft Scale Calibration and Measurement Capability; Scale Calibration for several aircraft scales requires one to replicate the footprint of the tire. Not doing so may produce out-of-tolerance conditions or a very high bias. Information on our aircraft scale calibration services can be found here. This paper will describe our calibration process, including the calculations of […]
In the last Back-to-Basics blog, I covered Compression and Tension Force Calibration. As I continue to cover basic concepts for beginners, this blog will cover the differences between calibration and verification. What is a Calibration? Let me start by stating that there are several definitions of calibration across multiple standards. My favorite definitions are below. […]
Ideal for Calibrating Load Cells, Testing Machines and Other Force or Torque Systems The DSC-USB load cell indicator is for a true direct-reading load cell system powered through a USB port. This system is available at a lower cost than the higher-accuracy HADI indicator. Features include: Direct reading according to ASTM E74 and ASTM E2428 […]
Compression and Tension Forces Calibration In the last Back-to-Basics blog, I covered How a Transducer Measures Force. As I continue to cover basic concepts for beginners, this blog will cover the terms Compression and Tension Forces and how they relate to force calibration. Compression and Tension Forces: What is a Compression Force Calibration? When discussing […]
Convenient PSD Hand-Held Load Cell Indicator The PSD hand-held load cell indicator weighs only 250 grams and is easy to carry. It is an ideal replacement for harder-to-use meters that require multiple input and read values. PSD hand-held load cell indicator features include: Portable digital display for use as a strain gauge indicator or load/torque […]
How a Transducer Measures Force In our first Back-to-Basics blog, I covered Force Calibration and its Importance. As I continue to cover basic concepts for beginners, this blog will define a transducer and describe how one is used to measure compression and tension force. What is a Transducer? In the broad sense of the term, […]
