In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Midland, TX
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 Midland and Permian Basin 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 Midland, TX
Midland is the county seat of Midland County and the administrative center of the Permian Basin, set on Interstate 20 in West Texas with SH 191 running west to Odessa, Loop 250 wrapping the north side of town, and SH 158 and SH 349 carrying field traffic out to the surrounding counties. The measurement work here is unusually broad for a city this size. The Midland Development Corporation lists Chevron, ExxonMobil/XTO Energy, ConocoPhillips, Occidental Petroleum, EOG Resources, Diamondback Energy and Permian Resources among the operators based in Midland, alongside oilfield service and equipment firms including Halliburton, SLB, Baker Hughes, Patterson-UTI, ProPetro, Warren Equipment Companies and SPM Oil & Gas, and the seismic crews of Dawson Geophysical. Midland is an aerospace town as well: AST SpaceMobile builds satellites at its Midland headquarters and manufacturing facility, and Midland International Air & Space Port is the first commercial spaceport co-located with an FAA Part 139 commercial airport. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Midland sits far outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve the Permian Basin 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.

How Tra-Cal Serves Midland, TX
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 Midland-area facilities 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.
