Why Calibration is Essential in NDT
In non-destructive testing (NDT), even the smallest measurement error can lead to critical oversights or costly false alarms. Calibration ensures that your NDT equipment delivers accurate, repeatable, and traceable measurements that comply with regulatory and quality standards.
At Tra-Cal, we provide ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration services for organizations across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast — ensuring your inspections are precise, safe, and auditable.
What is NDT Calibration?
NDT calibration involves comparing the readings of test equipment to a known reference standard and adjusting them if necessary to meet specified tolerances. Over time, environmental conditions, mechanical wear, and electronic drift can affect accuracy. Regular calibration restores confidence and ensures compliance.
Types of NDT Equipment We Calibrate
Our scope covers RF, electronic, and physical test equipment used in NDT, including:
RF signal generators and analyzers
Oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers
Power meters and attenuators
Pressure gauges
Torque wrenches
Environmental chambers and temperature controllers
Multimeters and LCR meters
