It starts with the mechanical load path, meaning alignment, adapters, thread engagement, and contact surfaces. When those are not controlled, you introduce off-axis forces such […]
How to Choose Between a Proving Ring and a Load Cell for Force Calibration If you have spent any time in a force calibration lab, you have probably faced this question at least once: Should I use a proving ring or a load cell as my reference standard? It is a topic that frequently comes up when we do […]
Why Your Calibration Lab's Uncertainty Number Is Costing You Money (And Risk You Don't Know About And How to Reduce Calibration Uncertainty) How measurement uncertainty drives false accept and false reject decisions, and why it matters for your quality system. If you've ever had a perfectly good instrument fail calibration, or worse, had a bad one pass, you've experienced the real-world consequences of measurement uncertainty. Most […]
