Description: 
This institute is responsible for approving new models of lighting 
fixtures before they are mass produced, as well as for testing, standard- 
izing, and developing better lighting. Members of the staff have worked on 
developing stroboscopic tachometers, ultraviolet measuring devices, 
ultraviolet-producing devices, and pulse-light tubes. Research has been 
conducted on polarization effects of heterogeneous luminophor systems and 
improved starters for fluorescent lamps.

Description: 
This institute was formed as the result of a reorganization of the 
Eastern Institute for Fuel Utilization. It is primarily concerned with , 
problems of the iron and steel economy, nonferrous metallurgy, and indus- 
trial heat and power. Work has been carried out on the use of oxygen in 
blast furances, the use of natural gas for firing open-hearth furnaces (at 
the Krasnyy-Oktyabr Works? 50-ton furnaces), new methods for heating metals 
and heat-exchange apparatus, combustion technology, gasification of solid 
fuels, and preparation of fuels. In the latter context, an experimental 
plant for the dehydration of fuel oil was designed for the Verkh-Isetskiy 
Works and put into operation about 1958. Automated heating of open-hearth 
furnaces for the Nizhniy-Tagil Combine was developed, in collaboration with 
the "Ural metallurgavtomatika" Institute. High-temperature heat transfer 
under aerodynamic conditions has also been the subject of research. The 
Institute publishes a Trudy on a monthly basis.
