force measurement

Measuring push magnitude

Force measurement is the process of determining the magnitude of a push or pull exerted on an object, typically expressed in units like newtons or pounds-force.

It relies on instruments such as load cells, strain gauges, or spring scales that convert mechanical force into readable values.

Force measurement is fundamental in engineering, manufacturing quality control, and scientific research: The bridge design required precise force measurement at each support point.
