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 Moses Lake, WA
Moses Lake anchors Grant County in Washington's Columbia Basin, where Interstate 90 meets State Route 17. Its defining asset is Grant County International Airport, the former Larson Air Force Base, whose 13,503-foot runway makes it one of the country's premier heavy-jet flight test sites, used by Boeing, the military, and NASA. The adjoining Port of Moses Lake industrial park adds manufacturing depth in polysilicon, carbon fiber, aerospace, and food processing. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
We serve Grant County and the Columbia Basin two ways: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Every calibration is NIST-traceable and comes with an audit-ready certificate supporting AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems.

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.
