In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Odessa, 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 Odessa 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 Odessa, TX
Odessa is the county seat of Ector County and the anchor of the Odessa metropolitan area, sitting directly above the Permian Basin in West Texas where Interstate 20, US 385 (Andrews Highway), State Highway 191, and Loop 338 tie the city into the busiest oil and gas province in the country. Its employer base is built on energy services and the technical trades that keep them running: Halliburton fields one of the largest workforces in the city, Saulsbury Industries runs its engineering, procurement, construction, and electrical-and-instrumentation business from 2951 East Interstate 20, Medical Center Hospital and Odessa Regional Medical Center carry the region’s clinical load, and the University of Texas Permian Basin adds roughly 5,000 students and a growing engineering program on its Odessa campus. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because Odessa sits far outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup-and-delivery 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.
