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 Flagstaff 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 Flagstaff, AZ
Flagstaff is the Coconino County seat, incorporated as a town in 1894 and sitting at about 6,900 feet on the Colorado Plateau, where Interstate 40 crosses Interstate 17 at its northern terminus and US 89 and US 180 run north toward the Grand Canyon. The BNSF main line and the Amtrak Southwest Chief both stop on Route 66 in the center of town. Altitude is a working condition here rather than scenery, because ambient temperature, barometric pressure and humidity at this elevation are among the environmental conditions an accredited calibration certificate has to record. W. L. Gore and Associates manufactures implantable medical devices on North Fourth Street under eleven distinct FDA device product codes including Class III endovascular aortic grafts, POBA Medical builds balloon catheters under contract on West Shamrell Boulevard, Katalyst Space Technologies tests full spacecraft stacks including propulsion and robotics at its Flagstaff testbed, and the city runs a 6 million gallon a day wastewater plant at Wildcat Hill and a 4 million gallon a day reclamation facility on the Rio de Flag. Flagstaff Medical Center is the only Level 1 trauma center north of Phoenix, and the USGS Astrogeology Science Center has worked here since 1963. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Flagstaff sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Coconino 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.
