The Scientific Research Laboratory of the UE has begun its activity in November 2000. It is situated inside the area of the ex metallurgical combine of Elbasan. It has a surface area of 4500 m2 , where 1700 m2 of them are buildings. The main scope of work in this laboratory is performing the analysis on steels, minerals, limestone, fuels, lubrificant oils, cement and other materials used in construction. According to the analysis performed, the work in the laboratory is divided in three sections: I. Chemical Section. II. Physics and Mechanic Section. III. Section for the Sample Production. I. Chemical Section. In this Section are available necessary equipments (mainly produced in the 1970s) and environment in order to carry out chemical analysis with classical methods of: a. Carbonated Steels. b. Limestone, coke, argil, iron alloys, quartz, etc. c. Fuels (the density and glow point is determinate). Available instruments are: Name Type Year of production Pieces Muffle Furnace SRJX – 4 – 13 1973 2 Thermostat 101 - 1 1973 3 Analytical Balance FANOG 1973 1 II. Physics and Mechanic Section. This is the most well equipped section, where experiments on recoil, inflection, press and collision of the steel ingot for Φ from 6 – 40 mm can be performed, as well as experiments in press of beton of varying make. Available instruments are: Name Type Year of production Pieces Press 200 T YY – 200A 1973 1 Press 100 T DLY – 100 1973 1 Press 60 T DLY – 60 1973 1 Press 30 T DLY – 30 1973 1 Press 10 T WEJ – 10A 1974 1 Air-Hammer JB – 30A 1974 2 Mark equipment KD – 250 – 1 1974 2 In this section there are also the instruments that are used for the measurement of the hardness of materials with three methods: Brinel, Rokwell and Vikers. Name Type Year of production Pieces Brinel aparatus HB – 3000 1973 1 Rokwell aparatus HR – 150 1972 1 Vikers aparatus HB – 120 1973 1 Universal aparatus HW – 187.5 1971 1 Also are available equipments in the field of defect-scopy, as apparatus for measuring thickness with ultrasound and X ray apparatus. Name Type Year of production Pieces Magnetic Defectoscop TC – 2000 1973 1 X ray aparatus 350 – 6 1975 1 Ultrasound aparatus CTS – 6 1973 1 Thickness measurement aparatus DG - 30 1975 1 There are also apparatus for metal microstructure analysis: Name Type Year of production Pieces Microscope XJG – 04 - 1 Microscope XJL – 02 - 1 Polishing machine P - 2 - 1 III. Section for the Sample Production. The machine shop of this section has included the metal cutting machines that are needed to prepare and perform the samples regarding their chemical, physical and mechanical analysis. Also, in this section turnery proceedings can be performed: Name Type Year of production Pieces Mechanical Saw 672 1972 2 Lathe C620 1972 2 Lathe C616 1973 1 Cylindrical retifics M120W 1972 1 Plant retifics M7130 1973 1 Grindstone S – 3SL - 350 1973 1 Universal cutter X – 62W 1972 1 Horizontal cutter X - 60 1972 1 Franto - - - Mill - - - Drill ZP - 255 1972 1 Cutting machine 74 – 007 - 01 1974 1 Muffle furnace SRJX – 4 - 0 1972 3 Muffle furnace SRJ – 8 - 13 1972 2 Muffle furnace SRJX – 12 - 9 1974 1 Solution bath 74 - 400 1974 2
