|
|
|
|
| Facilities are available in the lab for testing wood, plywood and other panel products from lignocellulosic materials as per relevant BIS specification |
|
| The major equipments are UTM [25T, 10T, 5T, 2T], Door testing equipment, Humidity chamber for door testing, E-Tester [mechanized], Ovens, Hot water bath, Vacuum pressure test apparatus, NDT equipments such as Modulus sonic and ultrasonic equipments, Abrasion tester, Acoustic Pulse Tester, Shear/Scratch Tester, Fire resistance test apparatus, Thermal conductivity apparatus, etc. |
|
 |
|
| The facilities have been established at IPIRTI for testing and evaluating the mechanical properties of wood and panel products as per relevant standards. |

|
| Temperature and Humidity Control Chamber (climatic chamber) |
|
| The facilities have been established at IPIRTI for measuring the dimensional changes caused by temperature and humidity for different kinds of wooden door shutters. At a time 6 doors can be accommodated in the chamber and can simulate the conditions inside the chamber mentioned as per IS 4020 (part 12). Temperature & Humidity Controlled Chamber works at temperature range of 10º C to 85º C and humidity 20 to 95 % RH, can be operated through a direct LAN connecting through Ethernet port, |

|
|
Humidity control chamber |
|
| The facilities have been established at IPIRTI for conditioning the test specimens before carrying out the mechanical tests of wood and panel products and also it is used for measuring the dimensional changes caused by temperature and humidity of block board. |

| Tests for Door Shutters |
|
| Door shutter is an essential feature in all buildings
both residential and commercial. All the door shutter
manufacturing units in the country have been advised by
the BIS to set up facility for test of door shutter in order to
apply for BIS stamping. Since, no such equipment was
readily available for the industry to purchase and install,
IPIRTI designed a prototype and got the door shutter
tests equipment fabricated. All tests prescribed in Indian
Standard Specification IS:4020 - 1998 can be conducted
using this equipment. A short term course on tests for
door shutters also has been introduced. |

|
| Fire resistance testing |
|
| The facilities have been established at IPIRTI for testing panel products for their fire resistance as per Indian standard IS – 5509. |
