Instruments Developed
 
Flammability Tester (As per BS 5438)
This instrument is developed as per BS 5438 and is used to determine the effect of fire on textile materials in vertical mode
Flammability Tester (As per IS 11871 Method A)
This instrument is developed As per IS 11871 Method A and is used to determine flammability behaviour of textile material when specimen is placed in vertical position.
Smoke visibility test apparatus (As per UIC code 562 – 2 Appendix 15)
This instrument is developed as per UIC 564-2 Appendix 15 and is used to determine the effect of smoke generated on visibility.
Fire resistant test apparatus (As per UIC code 562 – 2 Appendix 5 and 12)
This instrument is developed as per UIC 564-2 and is used to determine the effect of fire on various materials.
Limiting Oxygen Index Tester


This instrument is used to determine Limiting The limiting oxygen index of textiles and plastic material. oxygen index (LOI) is the minimum concentration of oxygen, expressed as a percentage, that will support combustion of a small vertical test specimen under specified test conditions. It is measured by passing a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen over a burning specimen. This instrument is based on IS 13501.
Toxicity Tester
This instrument tests the toxicity of the products of combustion in terms of small molecular species arising when a small sample of a material is completely burnt in excess air under specified conditions.
Fabric Hand Tester
The main features of this instrument are that it quantifies handle and results are formatted analytically and graphically which are easy to interpret.
Dimensional Stability to Dry Heat Tester
This instrument is very useful to determine the effect of full garment iron (dry heat) on the dimensional stability of fabric. The instrument is based on IS 12170 (referred specification IS 15853).
Soil release efficiency Tester
This instrument is used to determine the ability of soil release of textile material after treatment with various types of soils. The instrument is based on IS 11813 (referred specification IS 15853).
