Cable Tensiometer Calibration Cable Sets Part # PCM-2MD-STD-9CK (PD-5943) A cable tensiometer measures the amount of tension in a cable in various industrial applications during regular maintenance checks. These measurements are critical, and, by association, their calibration is critical, too. Morehouse has the calibration solution with our Mechanical Tensiometer Calibrator, reference loadcell, adapters, indicator, and […]
Guide for Understanding Uncertainties on a Morehouse ASTM E74 Calibration Certificate Reporting the Expanded Uncertainty on an ASTM E74 Calibration Certificate of the measurement is a requirement of ISO/IEC 17025 and likely always will be. However, if you look at several different certificates of calibration, their Expanded Uncertainty reported, contributors and reporting methods will vary […]
100 Years of Morehouse and 100 Blog Posts The 100th blog post, what to do? 100 years in business, 100 blog posts, several papers, and technical articles along the way. Communication has changed from a switchboard phone to a handheld personal computer that can receive this message. From the proving ring to today's deadweight […]
What Calibration Coefficients Do ASTM E74, ISO 376, and other standards may use calibration coefficients to characterize the performance characteristics of continuous reading force-measuring equipment better. These standards may use higher-order fits such as a second or third-order fit (ISO 376) or ASTM E74 allows higher-order fits up to as high as a 5th-order. Both […]
Load Cell Calibration: What Does “Traceable to NIST” Really Mean? Load cells have various applications across several fields, from verifying the correct amount of stamping press force to testing rocket thrust stands. They are so common that almost everyone owns several in some shape or form, whether they realize it or not. Load cells are […]
ASTM E74 and Accuracy Statements: Why an Accuracy Statement Does Not Belong on Every Calibration Certificate - Intro The current ASTM E74-18 standard is the title Standard Practice for Calibration and Verification for Force-Measuring Instruments. Here at Morehouse, we support the best practices that are outlined in the ASTM E74 standard as the representation […]
Mechanical Tensiometer to Pacific Scientific Tensiometer Calibrator Data Sheet: This Tensiometer can also calibrate other manufacturers' tensiometers. In addition to tensiometers, the Morehouse machine can calibrate load cells, force gauges, tension links, and other force equipment under 2,000 lbf. Click here for more information.

Does a Backup Load Cell Meter for Your Load Cell System Make Sense? Backup Load Cell Meter - Reason Why On Might be Needed A client has four load cells on one meter, and the technician loses, drops, or breaks the current indicator. This is a scenario we see happen quite a bit. If Murphy […]
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 […]
