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 Bridgeport, WA
Bridgeport sits on the south bank of the Columbia River in Douglas County, where SR 17 meets SR 173 just downstream from Chief Joseph Dam. That dam is the Army Corps of Engineers' largest hydropower producer and the nation's second largest, with 27 units and 2,620 megawatts, a Seattle District project office on site, and output marketed by Bonneville. The mid-Columbia corridor adds Wells Dam downstream and Grand Coulee upstream, while orchards, packing houses, and controlled-atmosphere cold storage around Bridgeport and Brewster carry their own measurement load. That work runs on electrical, pressure, temperature, torque, and dimensional readings. We offer prepaid ship-in calibration with a five-business-day turnaround or onsite calibration appointments, ANAB-accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, NIST-traceable, with certificates supporting AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820.

How Tra-Cal Serves Bridgeport, WA
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 Bridgeport-area facilities across Douglas and Okanogan counties for fixed assets, large inventories, and instruments that should not be moved — powerhouse and substation test sets, panel instrumentation, and cold-storage chambers are typical examples. 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

Bridgeport sits well outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup and delivery radius, so we serve Douglas County through two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and scheduled onsite calibration at your facility. The same ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation, NIST-traceable standards, and certificate format apply regardless of intake method.
-
