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 […]
