Automotive, tooling, and defense
Michigan’s manufacturing base is dominated by automotive (OEMs and a vast IATF 16949 supplier tier around Detroit), precision tooling and die, and defense ground-vehicle work. Dimensional calibration — calipers, micrometers, gauge blocks, thread and ring/plug gauges — is the backbone here, alongside torque tools for assembly and force instruments for materials testing.
American Gage covers dimensional, mass, force and torque, and the rest of the nine disciplines under A2LA ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, with data-and-uncertainty certificates that support IATF 16949 measurement-system requirements.
Mail-in calibration for the supplier tier
Send your equipment list, ship to our Placentia lab, and get instruments back on a 7–10 business day standard turnaround with expedited options. As an independent accredited lab, we give you direct technician access and consolidate multiple disciplines with one supplier — simpler supplier-quality records than juggling several vendors.

The Lab Behind the Routes
Where Michigan instruments actually get calibrated.
8,000 sq ft of discipline-specific, environmentally controlled laboratories in Placentia — accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 by A2LA, certificate #4296.01. Every instrument you ship is calibrated here and returned to you — never sub-contracted to another lab.

Michigan calibration FAQs
Do your certificates support IATF 16949?
Yes. IATF 16949 expects controlled, traceable calibration and that external labs’ scope covers the required measurements. Our A2LA ISO/IEC 17025 certificates document data, uncertainty, and traceability — pair them with your MSA/gauge R&R program.
Do you serve the Detroit metro?
Yes — Detroit and the wider Michigan automotive supply chain by mail-in calibration, with instruments returned typically within 7–10 business days.
