In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Service in Atlanta, GA
With over 35 years of experience, our technicians have provided precise calibration, instrument repair, and metrology database management to a diverse range of industries across the Atlanta area.
Located in Gaithersburg, MD, our calibration laboratory—accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ANSI Z540-1, and Z540.3 standards—adheres to strict quality protocols. We perform all calibrations and repairs in line with manufacturer specifications to ensure your measurement tools remain reliable, repeatable, and audit-ready. Each calibration is accompanied by a certificate that confirms compliance with the rigorous standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Serving Atlanta, GA
Atlanta sits at the crossroads of I-75, I-85, I-20, and the I-285 perimeter, anchored by the world's busiest airport (Hartsfield-Jackson) and Delta Air Lines' global operations. It is one of the Southeast's largest advanced-manufacturing, aerospace, and technology hubs — home to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Marietta (builder of the F-22 Raptor and C-130 Hercules), the Georgia Institute of Technology's research complex, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and a dense telecommunications, electronics, and logistics cluster across Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb counties. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because the Atlanta metro sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb counties through two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Each calibration is performed against documented procedures, traced through NIST, and accompanied by an audit-ready certificate that supports AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems.
