In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Gulfport, MS
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 Gulfport, Mississippi 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 Gulfport, MS
Gulfport, Mississippi is the state's second-largest city and a coastal hub where measurement-heavy work spans federal sites (the Navy's Seabee base, the Combat Readiness Training Center, nearby Keesler AFB and Stennis Space Center) and civilian ones (the Port of Gulfport, Mississippi Power, Memorial Hospital, and area shops and labs). Since the lab is about 1,080 miles away in Gaithersburg, Maryland, service comes two ways: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments on scheduled visits. No local courier pickup is offered there. Work is done by an ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 laboratory, NIST-traceable, with audit-ready certificates for AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820. Scope covers general-purpose test, measurement, and diagnostic equipment only, not vessel work, NDE, machinery alignment, or installed test-stand projects.

How Tra-Cal Serves Gulfport, MS and the Mississippi Gulf Coast
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 facilities in Gulfport, Biloxi, Long Beach, Pass Christian, D'Iberville, and the wider Harrison County coast 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. Because Mississippi Gulf Coast trips are routed from Maryland, we group nearby appointments wherever possible, which keeps travel time economical for everyone on the schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Our laboratory is located at 8577 Atlas Drive in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and we support Gulfport and Harrison County two ways: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and scheduled onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Gulfport sits well outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup and delivery radius, so we do not offer local courier runs there. The same ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation, NIST-traceable standards, and certificate format apply regardless of intake method.
-
Yes. Tra-Cal maintains ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation through ANAB. ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 and Z540.3 conformance is also available on request. The current scope of accreditation is published on our site so quality managers in Gulfport can verify parameters and uncertainties before sending equipment.
-
Standard turnaround is approximately five business days from receipt at our Gaithersburg laboratory, not counting transit. Expedited handling can be arranged when a Gulfport production line, test cell, or readiness inspection cannot wait, and your account manager will confirm dates before work begins.
-
Yes. Every calibration is performed against documented procedures using standards traceable through the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and each certificate reports as-found and as-left data where applicable. The documentation is built to satisfy AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 audits, along with government and prime-contractor quality requirements common on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
-
Gulfport work tends to come from defense and federal facilities such as the Naval Construction Battalion Center and the Gulfport Combat Readiness Training Center, from marine and port operations at the Port of Gulfport, from utility and electrical work tied to Mississippi Power, from healthcare and biomedical departments, and from machine shops, RF and electronics firms, and environmental and testing labs across Harrison County.
-
Yes. Our mobile laboratories carry over one hundred reference instruments, and our metrologists travel to facilities in Gulfport, Biloxi, Long Beach, Pass Christian, D'Iberville, and the wider Harrison County coast for fixed assets, large inventories, and instruments that should not be moved. Because Gulf Coast trips are routed from Maryland, we group nearby appointments where possible to keep travel economical.
-
Send us your asset list with manufacturer, model, serial number, and any required accreditation level or tolerance. We provide prepaid inbound and return shipping labels and packing guidance. Include cables, probes, fixtures, and adapters that are part of the measurement, note any known faults, and tell us your required due dates so we can sequence the work.
-
Yes. We maintain your asset records, calibration history, and interval data, and send automated due-date notifications so nothing lapses between cycles. Gulfport customers with equipment spread across several buildings or between the coast and inland sites use this to keep one consolidated, audit-ready record.
