Morehouse Instrument Company, Inc.

We are committed to helping organizations lower measurement risk by lowering equipment uncertainties for force and torque. For over 100 years, we have successfully served commercial labs, government labs and other organizations requiring accurate force and torque measurements. In 1920 Morehouse Machine Company started as a local machine shop by William S. Morehouse. The 1920`s Morehouse team included a very skilled machinist named Harry E Zumbrun. Around this time, the demand for boilers and steam engines was increasing. However, as demand was rapidly expanding, so were catastrophic failures. Many boilers were exploding due to material not being controlled and subpar testing methods. A problem that needed to be solved drove Morehouse to work with the National Bureau of Standards and find a solution. That solution ended up being the Morehouse Proving Ring, which allowed for more accurate calibration of Brinell hardness testers.
