Serving Pascagoula, MS
Pascagoula is the seat of Jackson County, Mississippi, a Gulf Coast city of about 22,010 people at the mouth of the Pascagoula River. Its economy is built on heavy industry: Ingalls Shipbuilding, a major Chevron refinery, Rolls-Royce Naval Marine and chemical plants. All that instrumentation is why local quality managers rely on an ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration laboratory.
From the Gaithersburg, Maryland lab, roughly 1,050 miles away, service comes two ways: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Certificates are NIST traceable and audit ready for AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820. Scope covers general-purpose test and measurement equipment only, not shipyard or refinery field services.

How Tra-Cal Serves Pascagoula, MS
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 facilities in Pascagoula, Moss Point, Gautier, Ocean Springs, and the wider Jackson County coast 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. Because Gulf Coast trips are routed from Maryland, we group nearby appointments wherever possible, which keeps travel time economical for everyone on the schedule.
