Highly qualified engineers and scientists look after this testing facility. We ensure high standard of quality demanded in any material testing laboratories and possess state of the art technology to meet all your material testing requirements.We have the ability to conduct following tests.

• Mechanical Testing: we conduct tensile, compression,impacts, bend, cupping and hardness tests for metallic materials. Available tensile testing machines range from 0.5 Ton to 100 Tons capacity. All standard loads are available in hardness for Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell and Shore.

• Non-destructive Testing: We have instrumentation to measure internal and surface flaws in castings, forgings, welded joints and finished parts. Radiography, Ultrasonic Testing, Eddy Current method, Magnetic Crack Tetection and Fluorescent Dye Penetration are some of the available Non-destructive Testing Techniques.

• Physical Testing: We determine the density, viscosity, ash content and distillation range for various chemicals and substances, which include petroleum products, paints, asbestos, soap, paper and cardboard.

• Metallographic Analysis: We have facility to analyse the micro and macro structure of metallic materials to determine structural details.

• Chemical Analysis: We have the facilities to determine chemical composition of metals / alloys, refractory and other materials through conventional Wet Analysis, as well as instrumental techniques such as Photometry, Spectrograph, and Spectrometry.

• Polyner Testing: Polymer Lab established in this group has facilities to carry out tests like hardness, tensile strength, impact value, softening point, melt flow index, and moisture content in polymer materials.

• Refractory Materials: Refractory materials tests for sand, clays, firebricks etc.include sieve analysis, green strength, compactability, permeability, water absorption and bulk density.

These services comprise of:
