Fast, OEM-Alternative NDT Calibration Services

For NDT professionals, equipment accuracy is a non-negotiable, but long OEM calibration lead times don’t have to be. 

When critical inspection tools are tied up at manufacturer service centers for weeks, productivity and project schedules suffer. 

MFE Inspection Solutions provides a faster, OEM-alternative approach to NDT calibration, delivering significantly shorter turnaround times through our specialized calibration hubs in Houston, TX and Concord, CA—so your equipment gets back to the field sooner, without sacrificing compliance or documentation quality.

Our Concord, CA calibration lab serves companies throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area—including Oakland, San Jose, and surrounding Northern California industrial corridors—while our Houston, TX facility supports clients across Pasadena, TX and the Gulf Coast region.

We provide the technical depth of an OEM with the agility of a local partner.

The MFE Difference: Speed, Support, and Specialized Care

We’ve formalized our workflows to solve the most common “pain points” in equipment maintenance:

  • Bypass the 30-Day OEM Wait: While manufacturers often require a month for standard service, MFE delivers significantly shorter turnaround times than OEM calibration centers, often as fast as one week for many NDT systems.
  • Zero-Downtime Loaner Program: We understand that time is money in the field. When you can’t afford to be without a critical tool, MFE Inspection Solutions offers discounted rental equipment while your tools are in for calibration, helping you stay operational without paying OEM expedited fees.
  • Highly Competitive Pricing: Our regional centers in Houston and Concord offer localized pricing structures designed to beat OEM rates while maintaining full compliance and documentation standards.
  • Expedited Tiers: For mission-critical tasks, we offer 24-hour and 48-hour expedited services per unit to get your crew back on-site immediately.

Validation Beyond the Sticker

At MFE, we understand that a calibration sticker is only as valuable as the process behind it. Our internal calibration procedures mirror—and in many cases exceed—the checkpoints used by original equipment manufacturers.

When your tool returns from our facility, it arrives with comprehensive documentation designed to withstand the strictest regulatory audits and asset integrity requirements. 

We ensure that your equipment is not just compliant, but optimized for the demanding field conditions your technicians face every day.

Strategic Regional Support & National Reach

With high-volume technical hubs in both Houston and Pasadena, TX and Concord, CA and the greater Bay Area, MFE provides a level of technical depth and speed for high-target items like OmniScan and Lyft systems that manufacturers often cannot match.

Our Houston calibration center is strategically positioned to serve inspection teams across Pasadena, Deer Park, Baytown, and the greater Gulf Coast industrial corridor. Likewise, our Concord, CA lab supports inspection providers throughout the East Bay, Oakland, San Jose, and the broader Northern California market.

However, our support extends far beyond our primary calibration centers in Houston, TX (serving Pasadena and the surrounding Gulf Coast) and Concord, CA (serving the greater Bay Area). MFE maintains a localized presence across the United States and Canada, including offices in:

  • Atlanta, GA 
  • Baton Rouge, LA 
  • Chicago, IL 
  • Corpus Christi, TX 
  • Huntington Beach, CA 
  • Edmonton, AB and 
  • Toronto, ON 

This North American network allows clients to access local support, equipment drop-off coordination, and service guidance nationwide, while advanced calibration and high-value systems are processed through our specialized Houston and Concord laboratories for faster, more consistent turnaround.

Don’t let a calibration sticker be the bottleneck for your next inspection. Visit our Repairs & Calibrations Center to request a quote or schedule NDT calibration services through our Houston, Pasadena, Concord, or Bay Area teams.
