In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Livermore, CA
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 Livermore 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 Livermore, CA
Livermore anchors the eastern Tri-Valley in Alameda County, at the junction of Interstates 580 and 680 in the eastern San Francisco Bay Area near Pleasanton and Dublin. It is one of the country's most concentrated centers of national-security and energy research, home to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) — with its National Ignition Facility and supercomputing programs — and the Livermore site of Sandia National Laboratories, alongside a deep base of defense, energy, precision-electronics, and advanced-manufacturing suppliers (and a well-known wine region). Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Livermore sits well outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve the Tri-Valley and Alameda County 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.

How Tra-Cal Serves Livermore, CA
In-Lab Calibration:
Send your equipment to our ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory with prepaid inbound and return shipping. Calibration is performed in a climate-controlled environment against documented procedures, with traceability through NIST. Standard turnaround is approximately five business days from receipt, and asset records are retained with automated due-date notifications.
Onsite Calibration:
Our metrologists travel to Livermore-area facilities for fixed assets, large inventories, and instruments that should not be moved. Calibration is performed in a controlled environment at your site on a scheduled appointment, with the same accreditation, NIST traceability, and documentation as in-lab service.
