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 Amarillo, TX 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.

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 Amarillo, TX
Amarillo spans Potter and Randall Counties where I-40 meets I-27, with US-60, US-87, and US-287 crossing the Texas Panhandle. The Pantex Plant in Carson County northeast of the city is a National Nuclear Security Administration site operated by PanTeXas Deterrence, LLC. Bell Textron's Amarillo Assembly Center builds V-22 Osprey and H-1 helicopters, Tyson Foods runs a beef plant, ASARCO operates the Amarillo Copper Refinery, and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center adds a campus. Our ANAB-accredited calibration lab supports nuclear security operations, aerospace assembly, food processing, metals refining, and health sciences labs across Amarillo, Canyon, Borger, and Pampa with NIST-traceable calibrations delivered on time and audit-ready.
Amarillo sits far outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, so we offer two intake paths: prepaid ship-in with a typical five-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments, supported by mobile labs carrying over 100 reference instruments. Every calibration is NIST-traceable and ships with an audit-ready certificate.

How Tra-Cal Serves Amarillo, TX
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 Amarillo-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.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited laboratory is at 8577 Atlas Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20877, and we do not keep an office or a walk-in counter in Amarillo. We serve Amarillo and the surrounding Potter, Randall and Carson County area through prepaid ship-in calibration with roughly a five-business-day turnaround in the lab, and through scheduled onsite mobile-lab visits.
-
Yes. Tra-Cal maintains ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation. ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 and Z540.3 conformance is also available. The current scope of accreditation is published on the Tra-Cal Certificate of Accreditation page.
-
