Testing Laboratory United States Testing Company, Inc. Established 1880 1415 Park Ave., Hoboken, N. J. Philadelphia Boston Providence Chicago - New York Los Angeles - Memphis Denver Dallas Member of American Council of Commercial Laboratories The United States Testing Company, Inc., is one of America's leading independent testing and research laboratories. Established in 1880, it is today an institution known and recognized from coast to coast--an institution whose scientific findings aje accepted as impartial and authoritative by every branch of American industry. Thermal Transmission A pparatus Far measuring thermal conductivity oj rigid, semi-rigid or loose types of insu lating materials. Boiler Testing We have all the necessary equipment to test and rate heating boilers in accordance with I*B=R--SB1--ASME Codes Air Filter Duct Testing. Our Engineering Laboratory is equipped with all the necessary appara tus to conduct tests on domestic heating boilers for determination of fuel con sumption, draft-loss, stack temperature, steam quality, Btu output, flue gas analysis, and over-all efficiency. Rating tests are performed according to either the SB I or UB=R codes, as well as under simulated .operating conditions for development purposes. Convectors and Base Panels are tested in accordance with Commercial Stand ards and the I=B=R codes respectively, using the Warm Wall Booth Method. Water heaters, refractories, fuel addi tives, valves, pumps, burners and heat ing accessories are evaluated scientifi cally. Other facilities include all the neces sary equipment for conducting exhaus tive tests on ^air cleaning devices according to accepted* impingement or discoloration methods. These tests may be performed with either artificial or natural dusts, under an almost infinite variety of flow rates and dust feed. Diffusers, grilles, registers, and duct ventilators are regularly tested and rated. SOUND MEASUREMENTS Determination of sound absorption and sound transmission coefficients are but two of the typical tests made on a great variety of building materials. Field and laboratory tests are regularly conducted for determination of sound intensity in the audible range. Our experts are available for court testimony in connection with any of the tests we perform, in support of our findings.
