In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Owego, NY

Yes. Tra-Cal’s ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ANAB-accredited laboratory is physically located at 8577 Atlas Drive in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and we support Owego and Tioga County customers two ways: prepaid ship-in service with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and scheduled onsite mobile-lab visits for larger consolidated workloads. Owego is outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup-and-delivery radius, so most Southern Tier customers use the prepaid ship-in program.

Standard turnaround is approximately five business days in the laboratory once your instruments arrive, plus transit time each way between Owego and Gaithersburg. Expedited handling is available when a production line, flight-test schedule, or audit deadline requires it. Your dedicated account manager confirms the schedule before work begins.

Tra-Cal is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by ANAB. Our calibrations are NIST-traceable and reference ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 and Z540.3, which supports Owego-area suppliers operating under AS9100, ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems. A current scope of accreditation is published on our site.

Yes. Our mobile laboratories carry more than 100 reference standards per van, which lets our metrologists calibrate fixed, heavy, or production-critical assets in place at Owego and Southern Tier facilities without removing them from service. Onsite visits to Tioga and Broome County are scheduled as consolidated trips, so they are most cost-effective when several instruments or several sites are grouped together.

We calibrate RF and microwave equipment such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, and power meters; general electronic instruments including DMMs, oscilloscopes, and power supplies; temperature and humidity instrumentation and chambers; physical and dimensional gauges, torque tools, and pressure devices; optical instruments; and timing and frequency standards. That coverage lines up closely with the avionics integration, mission-systems test, and electronics assembly work done around Owego and the Greater Binghamton area.

Every calibration is delivered with a certificate documenting NIST traceability, as-found and as-left data where applicable, environmental conditions, and the standards used. Owego-area suppliers routinely present these certificates during AS9100 registrar audits, prime-contractor supplier audits, and government source-inspection reviews.

We support the Village and Town of Owego along with Apalachin, Campville, Tioga Terrace, Crest View Heights, Newark Valley, Candor, Nichols, and Waverly across Tioga County, and we regularly serve neighboring Broome County locations including Endicott, Vestal, Johnson City, and Binghamton. Typical ZIP codes include 13827, 13732, 13812, 13811, 13743, and 13760.

Yes. We repair equipment from more than 100 manufacturers, so a failed instrument can often be repaired and recalibrated in a single visit to the laboratory rather than shipped to two vendors. We also provide asset database management, which tracks your equipment list, calibration intervals, and due dates and issues recall notices before certificates expire.
