Description: 
This institute is engaged in research on new materials for con- 
struction. Various compositions of concrete, such as reinforced-plastic 
and lightweight concretes, have been investigated to improve on building 
materials. Glass compounds are also studied as construction materials.

Description: 
This institute, which has a Laboratory of Metal Investigations and 
one of Technical and Economic Research, does work on mechanical properties 
of steels, fractionation devices, effects of gases on nozzles, low- 
temperature properties, gas chromatography, adsorption of gases on metals, 
and machinery for oxygen production. Work is primarily concentrated on 
oxygen. 
The Institute has developed oxygen-drying systems, a procedure for 
determination of viscosity of compressed gases at low temperatures, oxygen 
producing units (BR-1), and a device for the determination of krypton and 
the xenon contents. 
A Trudy is published.
