Load Cell Test Stands 101
Interface provides high-accuracy load cells, instrumentation and DAQ systems, software and accessories designed for use in various types of test stands. Load cell test stands are important devices for manufacturers and testing engineers who need to measure the force or torque applied to a object, test specimen, or product. They are typically made up of a frame, one or more load cells, software, and data acquisition instrumentation.

Demystifying Specifications Webinar
Interface's technical force measurement webinar Demystifying Specifications details descriptions, terms, values and parameters found in product datasheets for load cells, torque transducers, instrumentation and specialty products. Learn from our experts what specifications need critical review, recommendations based on product categories, and the insider point of view on what is most important in terms of specifications for different use cases and tests.

Understanding GUM and Measurement Uncertainty
GUM, the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement, defines terms and concepts related to uncertainty. GUM describes methods for uncertainty calculation, and offers guidance for reporting and the documentation of uncertainties in measurement results. Interface knows that understanding GUM and the adherence to good test and measurement practices are essential to minimize uncertainties and ensure reliable measurement results for every application. In addition, reducing uncertainty with regular calibration of testing devices and proper maintenance of the equipment go hand-in-hand with GUM.

Shunt Calibration Resistors 101
Interface shunt calibration resistors, known as RCAL Resistors, are an accessory product. A shunt calibration resistor is a resistor that is connected in parallel with a measurement instrument to provide a known resistance value. The purpose of the shunt cal resistor is to calibrate the instrument to accurately measure the current passing through it. Shunt calibration resistors are often used with load cells to improve the accuracy and reliability of their measurements.
