Construction Material Testing
Material properties vary from source to source, and poor-quality material can weaken a structure for its entire life.
Timber & Wood Testing
Scientific identification of wood species, chemical testing of preservative content and moisture content, and testing of plywood, block board, particle board, MDF, flush doors and door shutters as per the relevant IS codes.
What We Test
Particle Board / MDF Shutters
No. 6IS 3097IS 3087Density; moisture content; water absorption after 2 h and 20 h soaking; swelling due to general absorption after 24 h soaking (average increase in thickness and length); swelling due to surface absorption after 2 h soaking of one face (average increase in thickness); modulus of rupture; modulus of elasticity in bending; tensile strength perpendicular to surface; tensile strength parallel to surface; screw withdrawal test
Pre-laminated Particle Board
No. 7IS 12823Density; variation in density; water absorption after 2 h and 24 h; swelling after 2 h; moisture content; tensile strength perpendicular to surface (before and after cyclic test); modulus of rupture; screw withdrawal test; resistance to steam, cracking, cigarette burns and staining
Timber Panelled and Glazed Door Shutters
No. 8IS 1003Slamming, impact indentation, shock resistance, resistance to misuse, resistance to buckling, local planeness and screw holding tests, etc.
PVC Shutters
No. 9TADSSlamming, impact indentation, shock resistance, resistance to misuse and resistance to buckling tests, etc.
Flush Door / Cupboard Shutters
