Treatment of Zero in Determining Deflections – ASTM Method B Interpolated Zero Reduction Methods In calibration, many disciplines take multiple calibration points between the initial zero and the ending zero. What is the standard method for reducing the zero readings from the raw data recorded? When we started asking some contacts at National Metrology Institutes […]
Shackle Load Pin Morehouse is well known in the industry for calibrating loadcells of all types to the highest accuracy. And for 50 years, we have scratched our heads at the poor performance of load pins compared to all other types of loadcells. Even the slightest change in loading conditions causes drastic changes in load […]
Morehouse MURA Metrology Chatbot Morehouse has launched our Metrology Chatbot. The bot is found on our website and is active on every page. The major advantage of our MURA (Measurement Uncertainty Resource Assistant) is it is trained using all of the material from our website and more. See our official press release here. This might […]
Decision Rules - Our Top 10 Recommended Reading Many people struggle with decision rules and implementing decision rules. At Morehouse, we have been privileged to be part of the Metrology Handbook 3rd Edition, where we helped write a chapter on decision rules. Though it was an honor to write that and other chapters, there are […]
A Simplification of the Differences Between Specific and Global Risk Understanding the Differences Between Specific and Global Risk is a complex topic. For this article, we are going to explain the difference between specific and global risk without getting into too much detail. In metrology, risk is a crucial factor influencing the decision-making process based […]
Delving into Specific Risk: A Comprehensive Understanding of PFA and PFR Specific risk in metrology, mainly focusing on the Probability of False Acceptance (PFA) and Probability of False Rejection (PFR). These concepts are crucial in the decision-making process based on measurement results. Specific Risk Specific risk, as the term suggests, is a risk that is […]
The Top 5 Benefits of Automating Force Calibration In the ever-evolving world of technology, automation has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionizing various sectors, including metrology. Imagine setting up a load cell, crane scale, or any force-measuring instrument and being able to pay more attention to the setup and not having to control the machine. Imagine, […]
Understanding Global Risk in Simple Terms In the world of engineering and product design, there's a concept that Henry Petroski discusses in his book, "To Engineer is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design." He suggests that engineers and companies might become complacent when things are going well. They might not take the necessary […]
A Simplified Global and Specific Risk Example A company has hired us to measure the speed of cars on a stretch of a single-lane road. The customer wants options using both Global and Specific Risk examples as they are unsure what method will give them what they need to meet the specification as they know […]
