Universal Calibrating Machines Versus Universal Testing Machines - These Machines are Different Morehouse UCM Universal Calibrating Machine - a versatile compression and tension machine used for the calibration of load cells, force gauges, crane scales, and other force measuring instruments for the purpose of calibrating or characterizing the devices for use as secondary standards, working […]
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 […]
