Relative Zero Error: What You Need to Know About Load Cells with High Zero Returns Does this sound familiar; you bought a load cell that fit your form and function needs, and everything looked good for what you wanted to accomplish on paper. You send the load cell off to be calibrated and find out […]
Force Calibration for Technicians Updated for 2024! When someone is new to calibration or metrology, the information can be overwhelming. There is so much to digest that people can quickly become overwhelmed. Some have joked that an introduction to metrology is like trying to drink through a firehouse. We have updated the Force Calibration for […]
Small Force Measurement: Understanding the Challenges and Solutions when Measuring Small Forces Measuring small forces accurately can be a significant challenge for calibration laboratories, researchers, and engineers. Small force measurement is crucial for many applications, such as testing materials, monitoring biomedical devices, and studying the behavior of cells and molecules. In this blog, we'll explore […]
A Military Customer Gets Their 675,000 lbf Universal Calibration Machine We are happy to announce a 675,000 lbf capacity Universal Calibration Machine (UCM) was designed, manufactured, assembled and recently shipped to a US Navy base. This unique UCM will be used to calibrate high capacity force measurement devices used by for our military. Morehouse prides […]
Force Measurement Error: Don't Ignore Known Bias What can happen when we use an accuracy specification and assume all the measurements are centered in relation to the specification limits? It is a typical problem in the metrology community, where many papers assume a centered process or Measurement. When the Measurement deviates from the true value, […]
Why is Force Measurement Important? Here at Morehouse, we have been in the business of measuring forces for almost 100 years. We are a small company of fewer than 40 employees who strive to create great force measuring products used in several industries to make the world safer for everyone. Though, when asked what we […]
Why You Should Purchase Morehouse Budget Load Cells Load cells are devices that are used to measure the weight or force, applied to them and are used in a wide range of applications, from weighing scales to industrial equipment. Most of the load cells supplied by Morehouse are used as calibration standards, either as reference […]
5 Essential Facts About Torque Calibration Torque Calibration is essential because almost any fastener has a specification for torque. The purpose is to maintain a clamping force where the fastener stays together and is as immune as possible to fatigue. This article will discuss the five essential must-know facts about torque calibration. We will cover […]
My Load Cell Calibration Does Not Match What the Certificate Says Being in the business of calibrating force and torque instruments means you will run across scenarios where the equipment sent in for calibration performs differently than the last calibration. You might also run into a situation where the end-user does some checks on their […]
