Avoid Downtime with MCE’s In-House Calibration Services. MCE Flow Control Solutions provide the capabilities to serve a wide range of applications within almost any industry.
Precision matters in high-spec industrial environments. A single faulty reading can shut down an entire process, leading to costly downtime. In these situations, distributors and OEMs need more than a parts supplier. They need a partner who can ensure accurate calibration and responds promptly to keep operations running smoothly.
That’s where the MCE team makes the difference.
MCE provides pressure and temperature instrumentation products for a wide range of industrial applications. This is backed up by expertise to help identify the right instrumentation and calibration, fast turnaround and in-house services such as calibration, safety glass installation, laser marking and certified Ashcroft Diaphragm Seal Assembly.
Without proper calibration faulty instruments can lead to failed audits or inspections. Misreadings can cause product spoilage, unsafe conditions, or damage to equipment. And failed components can cause unplanned shutdowns to diagnose and fix the issue.
MCE’s in-house calibration services solve these problems by offering:
MCE supplies components off-the-shelf or calibrated on request; both with quick turnaround times. However, when it comes to calibration, tested and certified are not the same. MCE tests all diaphragm seal assemblies by default to ensure functionality. A Certified Ashcroft Diaphragm Seal Assembler, MCE provides accurately calibrated products with a shortened lead time. Each certified calibration includes documentation traceable to NIST, which clients can access at any time to prove compliance.
Note: MCE includes official calibration certificates with the components upon customer request at the time of order.
Missing paperwork can delay inspections or hold up production. That’s why MCE makes it easy to retrieve records and help customers stay audit-ready, even when documentation issues come up.
Beyond speed and documentation, MCE adds value by guiding clients in selecting the most suitable options to meet their specific needs. Their team understands how requirements vary by industry and ensures that each instrument matches the performance requirements.

MCE serves some of the most heavily regulated and mission-critical sectors in the country. Their calibration lab supports applications across biotech, energy, chemical processing, and food manufacturing.
What makes MCE stand out?
Some customers face daily production risks due to mis-calibrated instruments, Downtime costs money. MCE can calibrate and ship faster than most manufacturers can process an order.
MCE also proactively supports customers with regularly scheduled recalibrations. These programs prevent discards and rejects, increases process safety, enhances product quality and maintains compliance with set standards and guideline. They also help companies avoid last-minute rushes when audits approach and reduce the likelihood of process interruptions.
For clients in food production, pharma, and downstream oil and gas, paperwork and traceability matters as much as performance. MCE helps distributors and OEMs meet tight documentation requirements, including:
When an OEM omits a certificate, MCE retrieves and delivers it—often within a day—so the component doesn’t get held up in a compliance check.
MCE acts as a behind-the-scenes hero for other distributors who need help delivering fast, accurate solutions to their customers. MCE carries over $2.3 million in instrumentation inventory, including gauges from Ashcroft, WIKA, RealTemp, and other import lines. MCE is familiar with government procurement and offers numerous products on GSA Schedule GS-07F-0113W. They offer more than most manufacturers can supply on short notice — the calibrated product and documentation ready for immediate shipment. When uptime is at risk, MCE delivers what others can’t without the wait.
Examples of Success:
A pharmaceutical process equipment distributor switched to MCE after another vendor repeatedly failed to provide documentation. Now, MCE delivers properly calibrated sanitary gauges with all required certificates the same day the gauge ships, keeping their client in compliance and on schedule.
MCE also helps solve engineering roadblocks. When a car manufacturer required gauges and diaphragm seals for a new process, MCE collaborated with Ashcroft engineers to revise the specifications that would have caused premature failure. The result was a large order secured for the distributor, driven by trust in MCE’s technical insight and speed.
Automotive process integration: A car manufacturer working on a critical process needed diaphragm seals and pressure gauges. MCE collaborated with Ashcroft engineers to review the initial specs, which would have led to premature instrument failure. They helped revise the configuration, secured the appropriate materials, and supported the distributor in closing a large order. The manufacturer credited MCE’s expertise with keeping the project on track.
Fire departments: Local fire inspectors bring in Sprinkler Gauges for regular calibration, required to maintain the integrity of sprinkler systems. MCE stocks fire-rated gauges with proper dating and labeling, calibrating them on-site to keep fire departments compliant and inspection-ready.
Dairy research at local university: A graduate student needed a sanitary pressure gauge that met food-grade standards. MCE worked with him and his advisor to source the right Ashcroft model, complete with MTRs, calibration certificates, and compliance documentation. The gauge was delivered, installed, and passed all inspection criteria.
Manufacturers recommend calibration or certification every 12 months. We recommend that you calibrate and recalibrate as follows:
