Loose Bolts & Torque Control Imagine if one of the one hundred and fifty-plus car engine bolts is under-torqued; it loosens over time and eventually destroys the engine. What if the bolts are under-torqued in an airplane assembly and become loose mid-flight? What if those bolts were to the exit door, which blew off mid-flight, […]
5 Essential Facts About Torque Calibration Torque Calibration is essential because almost any fastener has a specification for torque. The purpose is to maintain a clamping force where the fastener stays together and is as immune as possible to fatigue. This article will discuss the five essential must-know facts about torque calibration. We will cover […]
Torque Calibration: Why Torque Control is Important - Intro At Morehouse we teach torque classes, give webinars on torque, and perform torque calibrations on reference standards. We strive to create a safer world by helping companies improve their force and torque measurements. However, we are not immune to the safety hazards that can result from […]
Cosine Error Should be Considered in any Torque Measurement Process ISO/IEC 17025 When Calculating Torque Measurement Error Cosine Error should be considered A ‘vector’ is known as a quantity that is defined by its size and direction. Every time the effect of a known force is evaluated on a static or dynamic system, all applied, […]
The Importance of Torque Control At the beginning of the year, we discussed the proper way to express torque units. This blog is going to discuss the importance of torque control. Torque = Force x Length this means the expression of lbf in or N m is the correct way to express torque. Those manufacturers […]
The proper way to express torque units is lbf·ft or N·m Morehouse will always make an effort to educate the masses on the proper way to express torque units. Looking at several scopes, manufacturer's specification sheets, and other sources, as a metrology community, we do not always express units of torque properly. Torque = Force […]
The 3 Important Changes to ISO 9001 Compliance and What This Means for Force and Torque Instrumentation The 3 Key Changes to ISO 9001 Compliance and What this Means for Force and Torque Instrumentation are discussed in detail in this article. What you need to know about documented procedures, preventative actions, and top management. Change […]
Torque Explained Formulas and Conversions Torque Explained - In the simplest sense Torque = Force * Length Torque is derived and traceable to SI units of length, mass, and time. The meter is the length of the path traveled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of 1/299 792 458 of a second. The kilogram […]
