Testing, Inspection & Technical Services

The Institute at present has got three Technical Cells for providing the services to the Industry. These Cells are working under the leadership of Faculties and generating some funds which is exclusively spent for the recurring expenditure of the Institute. The three basic Cells are as follows:

(a) Testing Services
(b) Inspection Services
(c) Technical/Consultancy Services

The Cell which is looking after the testing services is basically carrying out the testing physical and chemical testing for jute and other fibres by using the state of the art equipments possessed by this Institute in their laboratories. The Cell for the Inspection Division under the able guidance of the Faculties are carrying out the inspection services for jute fabric, jute bags, HDPE bags and cloth twines and yarns on behalf of different buyers as per the specifications given by the buyer or according to B.S.I.. The Cell functioning under the Technical/Consultancy Services are basically dealing with projects regarding product development, machine auditing, process development etc.
