Strain Gauge: How a Load Cell Measures Force Strain Gauge is sometimes misspelled as a strain gage. A strain gauge is a sensor used to measure strain (deformation) on an object. Here's a brief overview of strain gauges: Structure: Typically, it consists of a thin, flexible, insulating backing that supports a metallic foil pattern. The […]
Understanding Tension Load Cell Equations Tension load cells are critical for measuring pulling forces in various applications. Here at Morehouse, we calibrate many tension load cells from various capacities. One of the more essential aspects of these calibrations is ensuring the appropriate adapters are used. Our e-book and other documents speak to the importance of […]
Cable Tensiometer Calibration can be riddled with issues Maintaining precise cable tension is crucial across various industries, including engineering, construction, aerospace, and manufacturing. Cable tensiometers serve as indispensable instruments for measuring and monitoring this cable tension. However, the calibration of cable tensiometers is riddled with problems. Clear communication between calibration labs and end users is […]
