In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in Rancho Cordova, CA
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 Rancho Cordova 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 Rancho Cordova, CA
Rancho Cordova sits on the eastern edge of Sacramento County along the US 50 corridor. Incorporated in 2003 and home to about 79,000 residents, the city grew up around Aerojet Rocketdyne's rocket propulsion campus, and that engineering base still shapes its employer mix, including Teledyne Defense Electronics, Nidec Motor Corporation, Philips Image Guided Therapy, and Health Net Federal Services. The former Mather Air Force Base is now Sacramento Mather Airport. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because the area falls outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve it two ways: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and scheduled onsite calibration appointments. Every certificate is NIST-traceable and audit-ready for AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820.

How Tra-Cal Serves Rancho Cordova, CA
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 mobile labs carry more than 100 standards per van and travel to Rancho Cordova facilities for fixed assets, large inventories, and instruments that should not be moved. Because California is outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, onsite work here is scheduled as a planned campaign, so it pays to group instruments and book dates in advance. 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Tra-Cal's ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ANAB-accredited laboratory is physically located at 8577 Atlas Drive in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Rancho Cordova sits well outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup and delivery radius, so we serve eastern Sacramento County customers two ways: prepaid ship-in service with roughly a five-business-day turnaround, and scheduled onsite visits from our mobile calibration labs.
-
We issue a prepaid shipping label, you pack the assets, and the shipment travels from your facility along the US 50 corridor to our Gaithersburg lab. Typical turnaround is about five business days once the equipment arrives. A dedicated account manager tracks every asset and maintains your calibration database, so recall dates never catch a Rancho Cordova quality team by surprise.
-
Yes. Tra-Cal is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by ANAB. Every certificate is NIST-traceable and referenced to ANSI Z540-1 and Z540.3 where applicable, which is what auditors at aerospace and medical device suppliers in the Sacramento Valley typically expect to see.
-
Yes. Rancho Cordova grew up around Aerojet Rocketdyne's Sacramento rocket propulsion campus, and a wide base of machining, composites and test suppliers works to those programs. Our certificates support AS9100 quality systems and the calibration flowdowns that aerospace primes place on their supply chains.
-
Yes. RF and microwave calibration is one of our core disciplines, covering spectrum analyzers, signal generators, power meters and sensors, attenuators, and vector network analyzers. Rancho Cordova hosts defense electronics operations including Teledyne Defense Electronics, and that work depends on well-controlled RF test assets.
-
Yes. Rancho Cordova has a real life-sciences manufacturing presence, including Philips Image Guided Therapy. Our calibration program supports ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 requirements, covering temperature and humidity chambers, ovens and freezers, dimensional gauging, torque, and electronic test equipment.
-
Yes. Our mobile calibration labs carry more than 100 standards per van, which lets us calibrate a large share of a plant's assets in place rather than shipping them. For a California location like Rancho Cordova we schedule onsite work as a planned campaign, so it is worth grouping instruments and coordinating dates in advance.
-
Alongside Rancho Cordova itself we work with customers in Gold River, Mather, Nimbus, Rosemont and La Riviera. All of these sit in Sacramento County within easy reach of US 50 and State Route 16, and all are served on the same ship-in and scheduled-onsite basis.
