Guarded rejection: 1 Valuable Tool for Reducing the Risk of False Rejection When assessing the conformity of a product or service to a specified requirement, it is crucial to have a high degree of confidence in the decision. This is especially true when the consequences of a false rejection or false acceptance are high. Guarded […]
Load Cell Error- Load Cell Adapter Thread Depth Comparison Budget Versus Shear Web Load Cell Adapter Thread Depth Comparison - Introduction We have written previous articles about using shear web load cells with a threaded adapter installed, meaning they are locked into place. One article described the increased performance by locking a […]
Load Cell Reliability A customer asked us about the stability specifications of our load cells. The initial reaction was that no one does that because there are too many variables. Load cell reliability will depend on the complete system and use. These include using different adapters, different cables, changing thread engagement, overloading load cell, the […]
Choosing a Calibration Provider In calibration, decisions often involve finding the perfect balance between competing factors. When purchasing calibration products or services, a classic problem arises: quality, lead time, and price—choose any two, but you can't have all three. As one of the greatest singing artists of our generation sang, "Don't be Sad Because Two […]
Morehouse Workplace Award Resonates Beyond the Plaque Winning the "Best Place to Work" award by the Central Pennsylvania Business Journal was an honor for Morehouse Instrument Company, but it was more than just a badge of recognition. It highlighted the underlying philosophy and practices that make such acknowledgments possible and the broader implications they have […]
Lower Limit Factor Improve Calibration Accuracy for Load Cells and Other Force Measurement Equipment LLF, or Lower Limit Factor, is a statistical estimate of the error in forces computed from the calibration equation of a force-measuring instrument when the instrument is calibrated following ASTM E74 standard practice for calibration and verification for force-measuring instruments. The […]
How to Calibrate Cable Tensiometers Does the Type of Cable GAC versus SSAC Make a Difference? What is a Cable Tensiometer? Cable tensiometers are devices used to measure the tension or force in cables, wires, and ropes. They are commonly employed in engineering, construction, and industrial applications to ensure the proper tension of cables to […]
How to Develop an Uncertainty Budget for a Morehouse Calibrated Machine Uncertainty budgets are an essential part of any measurement. They help ensure calibrations are metrologically traceable, accurate, and reliable. Uncertainty budgets are also important for meeting regulatory requirements and accreditation. This article provides insight into developing an uncertainty budget for a Morehouse-calibrated machine. We […]
Force Measurement and Load Cell Precision Can Drive Auto Innovation In automotive design and engineering, precision isn't just a buzzword—it's the foundation that ensures safety, performance, and reliability. At the core of this precision are force measurement and load cells, the dynamic duo that keeps the automotive industry racing ahead. These crucial tools not only […]
