|
| Portable Water Analytical Kit
|
 |
This
kit was developed for NGO volunteers who participated
in the one day workshop during the year of Fresh Water
Year 2003. It is very useful for ascertaining the
quality of water at site for few chemical parameters. |
|
| |
| Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer
|
| Most advanced
technique for determining trace and toxic elements
specially cations in water and is based on flame atomization/emission
technique. |
|
|
| |
| Turbidity Meter
|
 |
This instrument
is used for measuring turbidity in water in terms
of NTU units. Highly turbid water may indicate high
amount of suspended solids carried by the river, which
in turn may have a bearing on the long term efficiency
of turbine blades. |
|
| |
| Microwave Digestion System
|
Mainly meant for fast and complete
digestion of samples such as cement, soil, rock etc. |
|
|
|
| Ion Selective Electrodes
|
| An
advanced technique for accurate and precise determination
of trace elements and dissolved gases in water. It
can also be taken to the field for estimating vital
parameters such as dissolved O2 , SO2,
NH3, Sulphide, etc. |
|
|
| Calibration Room |
CSMRS
has undertaken the calibration of its equipments as
a part of process of accreditation of its testing
facilities to National Accreditation Board of Testing
Laboraties(NABL) in consultation with Electronics
Regional Testing Laboratory ,North (ERTL(N))., Min.
of Comm. & IT. CSMRS has got 401 nos. of equipments
calibrated till date. The equipments were calibrated
for two types of parameters , Electrical and Non Electrical.
Calibration is an ongoing process and in this connection,
it is proposed to set up in-house calibration facility
under Memorandum of Understanding with ERTL(N). |

|
|
| Total Water Quality System
|
 |
Comprises
of a series of equipments to determine water quality.
Very useful in assessing the quality of water and
its effect on concrete at dam site. |
|
|
| UV Visible Spectrophotometer
|
| This instrument
is useful in determining nitrate, boron, fluoride,
iron etc. in water. |
|
|
|
| Electronics Laboratory
|
 |
Electronics Division provides support and consultancy
to all disciplines/divisions of CSMRS in regard
to electronic instrumentation ; Preparation of specifications
for equipments; Coordination for calibration and
accreditation of CSMRS activities; Repair &
Maintenance of CSMRS equipments; Testing & Installation
of newly procured equipments; Publication of Annual
reports of CSMRS; Coordination for meetings/lectures;
Assist senior management for Standing Technical
Advisory Committee related works and upgradation
of existing lab facilities.
X five year plan scheme.

|
| Muffle Furnace
|
| Very useful
for igniting precipitates at high temperatures. |
|
|
|
| Electronic Balance
|
 |
High precision
balance for weighing any matrix up to fifth digit. |
|
|
| IT Server Room |
The
IT server room acts as an interface between users
and IT enabled services for achieving the e-Governance
policy of the Government. The Client-Server model
Local Area Network (LAN) is managed from here. The
IT automation in respect of various technical divisions
and administrative wings are being planned and executed
from here. |

|
|
| Flame Photometer
|
 |
This instrument
is exclusively used for determining Sodium and Potassium
in water. It is also used for determining alkali contents
in cement. Higher the alkali content in cement greater
the potential of alkali silica reaction in concrete
in case aggregates are reactive. |
|
|
| Conductivity Meter
|
| This conductivity
meter is used for determining soluble salt content
in water in terms of conductivity. High soluble salts
in water can lead to problem with respect to concrete
durability and irrigation purposes. Very low soluble
salt content may lead to leaching of lime. |
|
|
|
| Data Logger cum-Water Quality
Monitor |
|
This
instrument is used for continuous monitoring of parameters
such as pH, conductivity, salinity, dissolved oxygen,
total soluble salt etc. under insitu conditions. The
data logger can continuously monitor all the parameter
as per pre designed set programme and is very useful
for constant monitoring water quality in river and
reservoirs. Special use of this instrument made in
Myntdu Leshka H.E. Project (Meghalaya). |
|
| pH Meter
|
|
This
instrument is used for determination of pH either
at site or at CSMRS laboratory. pH value is
critical factor for concrete durability. Low
pH can affect long term durability of concrete. |
