From helping NASA astronauts calibrate exercise forces to building custom deadweight standards for India’s National Physical Laboratory, Morehouse Instrument Company has spent more than 100 years earning the trust of clients who depend on precise force and torque measurement.
Founded in 1920, the accredited calibration services company helps organizations lower measurement risk in industries where inaccurate readings can result in product recalls, safety hazards and lost profits.
Morehouse offers measurement uncertainties 10 to 50 times lower than those of competing providers, giving clients confidence that instruments will pass calibration more reliably and produce more precise readings.
Its project work spans industries and continents. Morehouse designed a machine for the U.S. Air Force to test cable tensiometers, improving measurement safety.
It established calibration standards for the oil and gas industry reaching up to 6,000,000 lbf under ASTM E4 protocols, worked with the lifting and rigging industry to reduce measurement errors from 1.7% to less than 0.1% for those following proper procedures, and provided a testing machine manufacturer with two on-site deadweight machines to eliminate off-site calibration and reduce downtime. “Companies around the globe rely on Morehouse for accuracy and speed,” the company states.
