2. Measuring devices (MD)

Inventory and technical characteristics of available MD actually provides full support of studies and experimental research works performed by the institute. MD arsenal includes devices for

measurement of linear size and deformations (tape-measures, rulers, slide calipers, micrometers, indicators, probes, optical microscopes, distance-measuring devices, etc.);
measurement of angles, direct differential leveling (transit theodolites, optical and laser leveling instruments, etc.);
measurement of time, duration of processes (timers, mechanical and electronic stop watches);
determination of weight, force, strain, loads, pressure (weights, dynamometers, manometers);
measurement of temperature, relative humidity, climatic factors (thermometers, psychrometers, anemoscopes);
determination of intensity of illumination, surface shine and whiteness, hardness of paint coatings (luxmeters, glossmeters, pendular device);
determination of float finish degree of paints and pigments (grindometers);
measurement of sound level, vibrations (noise and vibration meters, vibrometers, octave filters);
determination of specific viscosity of liquids, consistency of solid and flexible bitumens and greases, bitumen malaxation temperature (viscosimeters, consistency gauges, device for determination of bitumen malaxation temperature);
ion activity determination – рН-tester;
measurement of parameters and testing of electric machinery.

There is special institute subdivision in charge of MD registration, safekeeping, use and timely calibration – metrology sector.

Production capability of the institute permits to manufacture a wide range of parts, units, devices, equipment items, mechanisms, rigs and machines and related working elements. This capability exists due to availability of relevant pool of metal working machines, equipment for electric and gas welding of metals, bending machines, forging presses, wood-working machines and painting machinery.
