How to Calibrate S-Beam or S-Type Load Cells and Achieve Good Results Figure 1 General S-Beam Load Cell General Overview of S-beam or S-Type load cells S-beam or S-Type load cells were designed for several weighing applications. Most were designed to be mounted on a scale, used as a lifting system, or process weighing for […]
Important Aircraft and Truck Scale Calibration Tips Figure 1: Example of Aircraft Weighing Aircraft and Truck scales come in all different shapes and sizes and typically serve one purpose, to approximate the weight of an aircraft or truck. Why might that be important? For Aircraft, it's about knowing the center of gravity CG. The center […]
Why a 4:1 TUR is Not Enough: The Importance of Analyzing the Probability of False Accept Risk Figure 1 Graph Showing Method 5 Acceptance Limits Several organizations and publications reference the use of a 4:1 Test Uncertainty Ratio (TUR). Some standards even reference a TUR requirement greater than or equal to 4:1. The question to […]
