Good Temperature Measurement is important to ensure quality beer products every time. Our Calibration Lab calibrates thermometers to ensure accurate temperature measurements. We have been providing test, measurement, and calibration services to the Mid-Atlantic region for over 30 years.
Temperature Calibrations
Tra-Cal provides temperature calibration service for a broad range of thermometers including:
- Liquid-in-glass thermometers
- Bimetal and dial thermometers
- Thermocouples

Temperature Meter, Probe, and System Calibrations
For many types of thermometry probes your application requires, Tra-Cal can ensure the accuracy of your meter, probe, or system!
| NIST-traceable report for: | Description |
|---|---|
| Thermocouple, standard types | Four test points across range of instrument. Meter: –270 to 2316°C (–454 to 4200°F); Probe and System: –80 to 1300°C (–112 to 2372°F). Actual range is dependent on type of probe. |
| Bimetal or dial | Four test points across range, –197 to 1000°C (–320 to 1832°F) |
| PRT probe or HART® style meter and probe | Four test points across range of instrument. Meter: –270 to 2316°C (–454 to 4200°F); Probe and System: –80 to 1000°C (–112 to 1832°F). Actual range is dependent on type of probe. |
All Equipment is returned with a NIST-Traceable certification. Calibration services available:
