PCSIR LABORATORIES, HYDERABAD
Previously PCSIR
Laboratories Hyderabad was working under the name of Solar Energy
Research Centre established in the year 1985 as a mono disciplinary
unit of Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. The
Centre actively initiated its working on Research & Development in the
field of Solar Energy Technologies. Keeping in view the services /
facilities required for the agriculture / Industrial sector and other
Institutes of this region, the functions/ activities of this unit were
upgraded and it was renamed as PCSIR Laboratories Hyderabad in the
year 2003 as a multi disciplinary unit of Pakistan Council of
Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR). The provision of
facilities in the laboratories are being enhanced through installation
of more equipment, induction and training of personnel to upgrade the
socioeconomic condition of the rural inhabitants by helping in value
addition of their agriculture produces. The Labs also provide support
to the Industrial Sector by providing analytical testing and
consultancy services to help enhance their production capability and
quality of products.
During
the year 2010-2011, in house R&D work is to be undertaken on 02
on-going and 05 new projects.
NATIONAL PHYSICAL AND STANDARDS LABORATORY, ISLAMABAD
NPSL was established in 1974 as a development project of PCSIR, in the
premises of the Physics department, Quaid-e-Azam University and
shifted to its present campus in 1980. Its main objective is to
realize, maintain and determinate the primary standard of the
measurement for the nation. It is the custodian of all the physical
standards of measurement in the country and is the only certified link
to the international measurement system (SI System). The Laboratory is
equipped with stands and equipment needed for calibration and testing,
as well as, consulting with experts scientists. It also imparts
training on quality management and offers calibration measurement
techniques.
During
the year 2010-2011, in house R&D work is to be undertaken on 08
on-going and 09 new projects.
FUEL
RESEARCH CENTRE, KARACH
The nucleus of Fuel Research
Centre of PCSIR was established in 1953 to fulfill the objective of
PCSIR related to developing and implementing technologies for the
exploitation of natural fuel resources of Pakistan. A Fuel Research
Division was formed in 1957, which was later shaped into an
independent Fuel Research Centre in 1984 and shifted to its new
building at PCSIR Laboratories Campus, Karachi in 1988. Huge reserves
of coal are widely available in the country but the impurities present
in it render it useless. Fuel Research Centre has been actively
engaged in research and developmental work related to fuels
particularly coal, coke and liquid fuel, so as to address some of the
issues linked with their use. Besides, it also provides analytical,
testing and consultancy services and imparts training to individuals
and professionals.
During
the year 2010-2011, in house R&D work is to be undertaken on 04
on-going and 02 new projects.
LEATHER RESEARCH CENTRE, KARACHI
PCSIR in 1959 established a
leather section in its main Laboratories Complex, Karachi. In 1984
this leather section was upgraded into Leather Research Centre at this
SITE area of Karachi. Since its inception, LRC has been providing
technical assistance to the tanning industry and helping them for
solving their complex processing difficulties to make Pakistan’s
leather compatible in the international market. Moreover, LRC is
providing trained manpower to the country’s tanning industry.
Presently, the total manpower of Leather Research Centre is 120
including seventeen scientists, four engineers and one leather
technologist. Moreover, LRC is the only Leather Laboratory in Pakistan
which is accreditated to ISO-17025 to meet the requirements of WTO.
LRC comprises of the following four technical divisions.
-
Chemical Research Division
-
Leather Technology Division
-
Research Utilization & Extention Division
-
Engineering Division
