In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Bremerton, WA
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 Bremerton 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 Bremerton, WA
Bremerton sits on Sinclair Inlet at the south end of the Kitsap Peninsula in Kitsap County, reached by SR-3 and SR-16 and by ferry from Seattle across Puget Sound. The city is built around Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Intermediate Maintenance Facility, the Pacific Northwest's largest naval shore facility, whose dry docks and piers line the Naval Base Kitsap-Bremerton waterfront. SAFE Boats International and Olympic College, which runs the shipyard apprenticeship pipeline, anchor the local marine industrial base. Our ANAB-accredited calibration lab supports shipyards, marine fabricators, electronics shops, and colleges in Bremerton, Silverdale, Port Orchard, and Poulsbo with NIST-traceable calibrations delivered on time and audit-ready.
Bremerton sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, so Kitsap County customers use two paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments with a mobile lab carrying over 100 reference instruments. Every calibration is NIST-traceable and ships with an audit-ready certificate.

How Tra-Cal Serves Bremerton, WA
In-Lab Calibration:
Send your equipment to our ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory with prepaid inbound and return shipping to our Gaithersburg, Maryland laboratory. 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 Bremerton-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.
