Tips from the Cal Lab – Force Setup Reduction with Morehouse Quick Change Adapters Morehouse employees went through a lean manufacturing course. Part of this course emphasized reducing cycle time, by reducing the amount of time it would take (Force Setup Reduction) to set up equipment for a load cell calibration. During the class, the […]
Proving Ring Load Tables spreadsheet to print load tables for Proving Rings. This is used for ASTM E74 calibrations where the end-user does not want to use a computer and wants to print tables to interpolate force points. The load tables sheet can be downloaded here.

Beware of Load Cell Measurement Error - If a Load Cell is to be Used to Make Descending Measurements, it Must be Calibrated with a Descending Range Note: In the above graph the Blue Line represents the descending curve showing high load cell measurement error when compared to the ascending curve. The difference in output […]

Load Cell Transitioning from One Mode to Another. Does it Make a Difference? This post will examine the effects of Load Cell Transitioning by calibrating the load cell in compression by switching to tension and then back to compression, versus calibrating in tension first and then compression. We will determine if there is a statistical […]

Force Applications for Mass Reference Standards Our good friend, Mark Ruefenacht of Heusser Neweigh, and a Mass Metrology Instructor at NIST pointed out that most mass calibration laboratories will issue certificates of calibration only listing conventional mass (unless True Mass is requested). Force Applications for Mass may create some confusion for those trying to convert […]
