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 Georgetown 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 Georgetown, DE
Georgetown is the seat of Sussex County, laid out around The Circle where US 9, US 113, DE 18, and DE 404 converge, and it anchors the Delaware side of the Salisbury metropolitan area. Delaware Coastal Airport, just east of town, is home to ALOFT AeroArchitects — operating as PATS Aircraft — an FAA-certificated maintenance, repair, overhaul, and modification facility known for Boeing auxiliary fuel systems and VIP interior completions. Alongside it, the Delaware Coastal Business Park, the Perdue Farms processing plant, the University of Delaware's Carvel Research and Education Center on County Seat Highway, and the Jack F. Owens campus of Delaware Technical Community College give lower Delmarva a working mix of aerospace, food-processing, agricultural research, and skilled-trades activity. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Georgetown sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Sussex County and the lower Delmarva Peninsula 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.
