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 Lexington 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 Lexington, KY
Lexington anchors Kentucky’s Bluegrass region in Fayette County, where Interstate 64 and Interstate 75 share an alignment and New Circle Road loops the city. Blue Grass Army Depot, at 431 Battlefield Memorial Highway in Richmond, stores and maintains munitions, chemical defense equipment, and non-lethal combat equipment for Army Sustainment Command. The University of Kentucky runs materials science and energy research through its Center for Applied Energy Research, and Lexmark International, Link-Belt Cranes, and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Kentucky in Georgetown anchor the regional production base. Work reaches us from ZIP codes 40506, 40507, 40509, and 40510. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Lexington sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve the Bluegrass region 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.
