Description: 
The Institute has been active in developing rolling procedures for 
metallurgical plants. Studies have been directed toward improving the wear 
life of mills by reducing the work hardening of the rolls, repair of mill 
equipment, and efficiency of production. Supply and demand studies have 
been conducted for pipe. Automation of strip-rolling mills and the drawing 
and finishing of tubing have been investigated. Improving the bearing life 
of textolite bearings and blast-furnace wear have also been investigated. 
Management studies of the efficiency of rolling mills have been conducted. 
Investigations of loss of working time in metallurgical plants and labor 
productivity have been made. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy.

Description: 
Radioactive methods of checking the exploitation of oil deposits 
have been investigated by the staff of this institute. Theoretical studies 
have considered the maximum solubility of a component of a gas mixture in a 
liquid, filtration of gases, and processes occurring in oil deposits during 
exploitation. Physical-chemical analysis studies of hydrocarbons have been 
carried out. Extractive crystallization as a method of separating solid 
hydrocarbons has been studied. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy.
