In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Cheshire, CT

Yes. Tra-Cal's laboratory is in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and central Connecticut sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup and delivery radius, so we serve Cheshire two ways: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and scheduled onsite calibration appointments at your facility using our mobile laboratories. The same ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation, NIST traceability, and audit-ready certificate format apply either way.

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.

Standard turnaround for in-lab calibration is approximately five business days from receipt of the instrument. Expedited turnaround is available on request and depends on instrument type, parameter scope, and current lab volume.

Yes. Each calibration certificate documents traceability through NIST, includes as-found and as-left data where applicable, lists the standards used, the calibration procedure reference, environmental conditions, and the technician. Certificates are designed to support AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality system audits.

Cheshire combines aerospace with heavy distribution. Tra-Cal supports aerospace and gas turbine engine work with torque, pressure, physical and dimensional, and electronic calibration, and supports high-throughput distribution and cold-chain operations with temperature and humidity mapping, scale and balance, and data logger calibration. We also serve pharmacy and life-sciences operations, precision machining and metal fabrication shops across the Naugatuck Valley, utility and energy field crews, and public-sector maintenance teams in New Haven and Hartford counties.

Yes. Our mobile laboratories travel to Cheshire and the surrounding Route 10 and I-691 corridor for fixed assets, large inventories, chambers and warehouse temperature-mapping points, and instruments that should not leave a production line. Each van carries more than 100 reference instruments, and visits are scheduled with your team so calibration is performed in a controlled environment at your site with the same accreditation, NIST traceability, and documentation as in-lab service. Because central Connecticut is a long haul from Gaithersburg, most customers batch a full asset list into a single onsite visit.

A packaging guide is provided when you request a quote. In general, instruments should be powered down, accessories included where required for calibration, and packed with appropriate cushioning. A prepaid shipping label is available for qualifying customers.

Yes. Tra-Cal offers metrology database management with automated due-date notifications, historical certificate retrieval, and asset-level records suitable for audit support.
