Built for aviation manufacturing
Wichita’s economy is aviation — major airframe and business-jet manufacturing and a deep tier of AS9100-certified suppliers and machine shops. That means heavy demand for dimensional calibration (calipers, micrometers, gauge blocks, thread and ring/plug gauges), torque tools for safety-critical fastening, and force instruments for testing.
American Gage covers dimensional, force and torque, and the rest of the nine disciplines under A2LA ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, with certificates documenting data, uncertainty, NIST traceability, and the Z540.3 decision rule — exactly what aviation audits demand.
Mail-in calibration for the aviation supply chain
Send your equipment list, ship to our Placentia lab, and receive instruments back on a 7–10 business day standard turnaround with expedited options. As an independent accredited lab, we consolidate multiple disciplines with one supplier and give you direct technician access — no national-chain queue.

Wichita calibration FAQs
Do you calibrate torque wrenches for aircraft assembly?
Yes — torque wrenches and screwdrivers are calibrated across their range in the direction of use, with as-found/as-left data and uncertainty. Safety-critical fastening is exactly where that documented data matters most.
How does mail-in work for a Wichita shop?
Ship your instruments to our Placentia lab; we calibrate in-house under A2LA accreditation and return them, typically within 7–10 business days. Send your equipment list first and we confirm scope, pricing, and turnaround.
