Accreditations at our Chelmsford Lab
• ISO/IEC 17025:2017 — NVLAP (Lab Code 200972) • Quality management system meets the principles of ISO 9001:2015
Essco supports the reference standards behind more than 200 calibration labs. When other labs need their own primary standards calibrated, many of them send those standards to Chelmsford.
Lab Specialties
As a full-service calibration and repair lab, our Chelmsford facility provides in-lab, on-site, and custom calibration services while specializing in several advanced disciplines:
RF and microwave calibration to 50 GHz, with most RF capabilities covered under our ISO/IEC 17025:2017 scope, including network analyzer calibrations to 50 GHz
Primary and laboratory standards calibration, including reference multimeters, voltage standards, standard resistors, capacitors and inductors, SPRTs, and a two-pressure humidity standard
Pressure calibration from -14.7 to 30,000 psi at 0.02% of reading or better, with low-pressure capability from 0 to 30 inches of water at ±0.01% of reading
Temperature calibration from -196°C to 1,200°C, plus infrared thermometer and thermal camera calibration from -15°C to 500°C
Environmentally controlled dimensional lab for precision gages and standards, including gage blocks to 20 inches
Automated calibrations using Fluke MET/CAL software for fast, repeatable results
Accredited pipette calibration, in-lab or on-site, with 24-hour turnaround and white-glove courier options
We also offer Reference Level Calibrations in multiple disciplines with faster turnaround than the OEM. Few commercial calibration operations are willing or able to develop the quality systems that allow Transcat to offer ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited reference level calibrations. In fact, Transcat is one of a select few commercial calibration operations qualified to be accredited as a Reference Laboratory in the disciplines of Temperature, Electrical, Pressure, Dimensional, Mass and Humidity.
