Noise Measurements:Over the years, the numbers of vehicles on the roads have been increasing exponentially are equally, so are the noise pollution levels. Vehicles cause noise pollution in numerous ways, through their the exhaust systems, engines, horns, brakes and sound systems. Hence, it becomes critical to keep a check on the volume of the noise produced so that they conform to regulatory standards. We offer all the tests which are designed to measure your vehicles noise emissions and ensure that it is in line with the required safety standards. High-Pressure Spray Testing:A form of spray testing, the high-pressure spray is a method of testing vehicles against forceful water sprays. This method of testing ensures that the vehicle and its components are sturdy enough to sustain this force and do not face any kind of breakdown or component failures, in any situation. Vehicles on a regular basis are cleaned with water splash or spray which sometimes enters internal components which are required to be free from water permeability; this test ensures no such situation arises. Flammability Tests:Vehicles are highly prone to catching fire as they are powered by fuel which is highly inflammable. Their internal components must be equipped to sustain in case of fire. Components like seat cushion, seatback, seat cover, seat belt, headrest, armrest, movable convertible top, all decorative panels and many others parts must have the ability to safeguard themselves from fire as their flammability has a direct effect on the safety of the people inside the vehicle.

Surface Analysis

Colour Fastness Test:Over time materials like textiles, leather and rexine used in seat covers, armrests and decorative panels deteriorate and their colours fade and texture deteriorates which majorly kills the look of the interiors. To ensure that the fabrics and materials being used maintain their colour and lustre for a long period of time, it is essential for vehicle manufacturers to subject them to a simulated environment where they are made to endure the damage caused by regular wear and tear. This facility is provided in our testing laboratory which helps determine the materials resistance against usual environmental damage as well as the materials ability to sustain its colour. Dew Formation Test:Automobiles have to operate in all kinds of weather conditions and therefore they have to be equipped to function in all such circumstances. Humid weather is one of the conditions which can cause failure in electronic devices. When there is high humidity in the weather, dew formation is a common phenomenon, which is evident. when you start observing moisture droplets within screens of the machine. when water vapours coming in contact with cold objects, they convert into liquid droplets called dew. Such dew formation when formed in-vehicle components, can hamper their functioning. Gloss Value test:The bodies of vehicles are prone to damages like scratches, abrasions and paint chipping during their day to day operational life. This phenomenon causes the lustre and gloss of the paint coating on the outer body of the vehicle to get damaged. Gloss-less paints hamper the look of the exterior body of a vehicle. The gloss value of the paint applied on a vehicle can be measured by the amount of light reflected back when it is directed towards a given part in a particular angle.

Coal Coke And Biofuel Testing

Calorific value (Gross/Net):The calorific value of a fuel is the amount of heat released by its combustion under regular state and constant pressure. Proximate analysis Moisture, Volatile Matter, Ash and Fixed Carbon:Proximate analysis indicates the percentage by weight of the Fixed Carbon, Volatiles, Ash, and Moisture Content in coal. The quantity of volatile combustible matter and fixed carbon directly play a part in the heating of coal. Fixed carbon plays a significant role in heating the coal during burning whereas ignition of fuel is influenced by volatile matter content. The ash content also plays an important role in designing furnace grate, pollution control equipment, ash handling systems of a furnace and combustion volume. Ultimate Analysis:The ultimate analysis indicates the various elemental chemical constituents such as Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sulphur, etc. It helps understand the amount of air necessary for the composition and volume of the combustion gases. This information is needed for the measurement of flue duct design, flame temperature, etc. Ash Analysis:Ash content of coal is the non-combustible residue left after coal is burnt. It represents the bulk mineral matter after carbon, oxygen, sulphur and water (from clays) has been driven off during combustion. When the coal is thoroughly burnt, ash material is quantified as a percentage of the original weight and this output is analysed. Ash Fusion Temperature Analysis:The behaviour of coals ash residue at high temperature is a critical factor in selecting coals for steam power generation. Most furnaces are designed in a manner that can remove ash residue. Coal ash that converts into a clinker a hard glassy slag, which usually requires cleaning and is unsatisfactory. By removing molten liquid, furnaces can handle the clinker. In a high-temperature furnace, ash fusion temperatures are analysed by viewing a moulded specimen through an observation window.

Disposable Diaper Testing

Disposable Diaper TestingDiapers are used to absorb urine and faeces. It is fastened around the waist just like underwear; the only difference is that it is thicker and spongier. This is because it contains absorbent materials which soak the excreta. There are two kinds of diapers, baby diapers and adult diapers. Adult diapers are used by those individuals who suffer from incontinence of either the bladder or bowels or both, as they are unable to control their urge urinate or to defecate due to medical conditions. Importance of quality of DiapersDiapers absorb human wastes, which is extremely pungent smelling and is unhygienic. So when a diaper leaks, the consequences can be very messy and inconvenient to deal with. It is very important for diapers to have good quality. Quality of diapers can be ensured by conducting tests on the sample products. Parameters of Diaper TestingBelow are some of the parameters upon which the efficiency of a diaper depends. These are the factors which are tested to ensure quality. Test of absorbentThe absorbent should be able to soak a considerable amount of semi-solids and liquids. The absorbent in the core is the material that determines how useful the product will turn out to be. Compatibility with skinThe materials being used in the diaper must be gentle to the skin. It should not cause any irritation or discomfort. The materials used for adult diapers and baby diapers are different because the quality of their skin is different. Babies have more tender skin compared to adults. Test of compatibility of materials with skin is different for babies and adults. Test of retentionDiapers are not removed as soon as defecation happens. It has to retain the liquid and semi-solid waste for some time. Tests have to be undertaken on diapers to determine if there exists a possibility of leakage or spillage. If that happens the diaper under test is rejected.

Female Condoms Testing

Safety and Effectiveness of Testing Female Condoms as per ISO 25841Female condom is a device that prevents pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases that can happen during intercourse. This device is gaining importance as it allows women to take control of their health and keep themselves safe. They no longer have to be dependent on their male partner to take responsibility for preventing infections, diseases and pregnancies Safety of Female CondomsFemale condoms are extremely safe as they adhere to standards prescribed by the International Standard Organization (ISO). ISO has specified all the requirements that need to be fulfilled by the female condom manufacturers while undertaking their production process, under ISO 25841. Parameters of testing female condomsTest of the insertion and retention featureFemale condoms do not stay in place unless they have a good insertion feature. Some female condoms have a medical-grade sponge in the upper end of the condom, some have an air bubble, some have a stick for insertion and some have a dissolving ring. These features help to place the condom correctly and keep it in place during its usage. Test of LubricationIn female condoms, both water-based and oil-based lubrication is used. Depending on the kind of lubricant, tests are conducted according to ISO 25841. Test of DimensionsFemale condoms have rings at both its ends. The dimensions of these condoms include the diameter of both the circular ends and the length of the condom. Tests are conducted to ensure each dimension adheres to the specifications prescribed by ISO. Test of Barrier PropertiesFemale condoms must provide an effective barrier so as to prevent any kind of leakage or discharge. For that viral penetration, studies are conducted, wherein female condoms are subjected to a medium containing virus.

Male Condoms Testing

Testing of Male condoms as per ISO 23409A condom is an instrument that acts as a barrier between the private parts of a man and a woman during coitus. The purpose of the instrument is to prevent any kind of discharge from one partner to touch or enter the body of the other. Condoms are used to prevent pregnancy and transfer of sexually transmitted diseases. Durability of CondomsMale condoms are made either from latex or from other materials such as polyurethane and polyisoprene (or lambskin). Latex condoms are thin and strong, hence are more preferred over lambskin condoms. Latex condoms are a blend of synthetic materials and rubber latex. The blend is strong enough to endure friction without breaking and thin enough to not cause any obstructions. The composition and manufacturing process of this blend has been clearly defined and when it is prepared according to that, the final product is extremely durable. But sometimes certain defects can pave the way into the manufacturing process. The result of faulty production is likely to be a defective product. In an industry like this faulty products can have serious repercussions on the manufacturing companies. Hence, the need for testing. Testing can ensure that their products conform to pre-determined standards and are durable. ISO 23409 Standard for CondomsThe standards that the testing companies use to determine the quality of a condom are set by the ISO. International Standardization Organization (ISO) is a standardization body that prescribes standards and regulations for condom manufacturing companies to follow. These regulations are categorized under ISO 23409. These regulations are strict and they ensure the production of high-quality products. The condoms which are manufactured according to ISO 23409 are 98 per cent safe.

Rebound Hammer Test

Rebound hammer test is conducted to find out the compressive strength of concrete by using rebound hammer. The rebound of an elastic mass depends upon the hardness of the surface when it strikes. When the plunger of rebound hammer test is pressed against the surface of the concrete, the mass rebounds and the extent of such a rebound depends upon the surface hardness of the concrete. The spring-loaded hammer must travel with a consistent and reproducible velocity. The rebound distance of the steel hammer from the steel plunger is measured on a linear scale attached to the frame of the instrument. The tests can be performed in horizontal, vertically upward, vertically downward or any intermediate angled positions in relation to the surface. The devices are furnished with correlation curves by the manufacturer. ASTM C805 now states that these references to the relationship between the rebound hammer and compressive strength provided by the manufacturer shall be used only to provide indications of relative concrete strength at different locations in a structure. To obtain greater accuracy of test results, it is recommended that the user develops a correlation for the device on each concrete mixture design to be tested and at the intended test angle. Procedure to extract the appropriate result:Prior to the test, the rebound hammer should be tested against the anvil to get reliable results for which the manufacturer of the rebound hammer. indicates the range of readings on the anvil, suitable for different types of rebound hammer. On applying light pressure on the plunger, it will release it from the locked position and allow it to extend to the ready position for the test. Press the plunger to the surface of the concrete, the instrument being used perpendicular to the test surface. Apply a gradual increase in pressure until the hammer impacts. Take an average of about 15 readings.

Transformer Oil Testing

Transformer Oil TestingTransformer oils are subjected to electrical and mechanical stresses while a transformer or other electrical distribution equipment stays in operation. The analysis of insulating oil provides information about the oil, but also enables the detection of other possible problems, including contact arcing, ageing insulating paper and other latent faults and is an indispensable part of the cost-efficient electrical maintenance program. Though the risk of failure of a transformer and other oil-filled electrical equipment is small, when failures occur, they inevitably lead to high repair costs, long downtime and possible safety risks. By accurately monitoring the condition of the oil, sudden faults can be discovered in time and outages can potentially be avoided. Properties Of Transformer Or Insulating OilFollowing parameters of insulating oil or transformer should be considered to analyse the serviceability of oil.

Pesticides Testing

Pesticides are chemicals used to control pests. The term pesticide includes insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, algaecides and fumigants. STRC plays an important role in analysing and certifying the pesticides both technical grade and formulations for their safe use. STRC has the facilities to carry all the tests to ascertain the conformity to various national and international specifications. Material safety data sheet (MSDS) is an important component of product stewardship and occupational safety and health. MSDS formats can vary from source to source within a country depending on national requirements.MSDS is a widely used system for cataloguing information on chemicals, chemical compounds, Pesticides, Herbicides, and Chemical Mixtures. It is also the duty of the manufacturer to properly label substances on the basis of physicochemical, health and/or environmental risk. Labels can include hazard symbols such as the European Union standard black diagonal cross on an orange background, that is used to denote a harmful substance. In some jurisdictions, the MSDS is required to state the chemicals risks, safety, and effect on the environment. It is important to use MSDS specific to both country and supplier, as the same product (e.g. paints sold under identical brand names by the same company) can have different formulations in different countries. The formulation and hazard of a product having a generic name (e.g. sugar soap) may vary between manufacturers in the same country. As pesticides are very critical to human safety and health, it is very important to use precise MSDS for pesticides at all points of usage, transportation, storage etc.

Thermal Conductivity Testing

Thermal Conductivity TestingThermal conductivity testing is the ability of a material to transmit heat and it is measured in watts per meter- kelvin of surface area for a temperature gradient of 1K per unit thickness of 1m. It is denoted by k, , or . Heat transfer is comparatively slower across materials of low thermal conductivity whereas higher in materials with high thermal conductivity. Hence, the application of this material varies with its conductivity; for example, materials with high conductivity are preferably used as a heat sink and for thermal insulation, a material with low thermal conductivity testing is considered. There are certain factors affecting the thermal resistivity (reciprocal of thermal conductivity) such as temperature, humidity, composition, application time, the proportion of solid matter or the voids in materials. Correspondingly, the application of thermal conductivity or resistivity has its own significance, to ensure the appropriate utilization of materials. Similarly, when it comes to your house, office or any other building, thermal insulation plays a pivotal role. Sigma Test & Research Centre provides the test facility of thermal conductivity in building materials which include powdered as well as dense matter.
