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 Rahway 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 Rahway, NJ
Rahway sits in southern Union County along the Rahway River, where U.S. Route 1/9, Route 27, and Route 35 run through town and the Garden State Parkway and the New Jersey Turnpike each pass about two miles outside the city limits. For a city of roughly 29,500 people, its measurement workload is unusually concentrated: Merck & Co. has operated in Rahway since 1903, and the company’s Rahway research campus — the city’s largest private employer — became Merck’s global headquarters when the move was completed in 2024. Around it sits a dense band of regulated and industrial work, including Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway, the Phillips 66 Bayway Refinery just up the road in Linden, marine terminal operations at Elizabeth, and the pharmaceutical, electronics, and contract-manufacturing corridor running south through Avenel, Colonia, Woodbridge, and Edison. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Our laboratory is in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and Rahway sits outside our regular Mid-Atlantic pickup-and-delivery radius, so we serve Union County through two intake paths: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility, handled by mobile labs that each carry more than 100 reference instruments. Every calibration is performed against documented procedures, traced through NIST, and accompanied by an audit-ready certificate that supports FDA 21 CFR Part 820, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and AS9100 quality systems.

How Tra-Cal Serves Rahway, NJ
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 Rahway-area facilities for fixed assets, large inventories, and instruments that should not be moved — stability chambers, ovens and freezers, environmental rooms, and fixed test benches on regulated R&D and production floors. 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.
