Timber
Timber is a versatile building material valued for its strength and aesthetic appeal. Quality testing assesses its structural properties, such as compressive and bending strength, as well as resistance to pests and moisture. These tests ensure the timber’s reliability and safety in construction, especially in load-bearing applications.
Tests performed at our lab include:
IS 1708 (Parts 1 to 18): 1986Tests for moisture content, compressive strength, tensile strength, bending strength, shear strength, and hardness.
IS 399: 1963Strength Properties.
IS 287: 1993Test for Maximum Permissible Moisture Content of Timber.
Plywood
Plywood is a popular engineered wood product used for furniture, paneling, and structural purposes. Quality testing evaluates factors like bonding strength, moisture resistance, and dimensional stability. These tests ensure the plywood can withstand environmental stresses and maintain its integrity over time.
Tests performed at our lab include:
IS 303: 1989Tests for moisture resistance, bending strength, and adhesion quality.
IS 710: 2010Test for boiling water resistance and strength tests for marine-grade plywood.
IS 1734 (Parts 1 to 20): 1983Tests for bonding strength, moisture content, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity, etc.
IS 5509: 2000Fire Retardant test for Plywood
