In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Moline, IL
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 Moline 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 Moline, IL
Moline sits on the Illinois bank of the Mississippi in Rock Island County, carrying Interstate 74 and Interstate 280, US 6 and US 150, IL 5 John Deere Road and IL 92 inside about 16.7 square miles, with Iowa Interstate, BNSF and CPKC track through the city and Coal Creek and the Rock River at its edges. Deere and Company is headquartered here at One John Deere Place, and the John Deere Seeding Group plant on River Drive builds seeding equipment and hydraulic cylinders under a Title V air permit. That split matters for measurement work, because engineering requirements are written at the corporate level and have to be demonstrated on the plant floor and through the supplier base, which is a traceability and documentation problem rather than a tooling one. Black Hawk College runs welding and skilled trades programs plus an industrial training lab on 34th Avenue, the city treats Mississippi River water for more than 17,000 homes and businesses at over 5 million gallons a day, and MidAmerican Energy operates gas peaking turbines on Second Street under a Title V permit. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Moline sits outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve the Quad Cities 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.
