Today, the laboratory provides training for cadets and part-time students in the following areas: ● Engineering Mechanics, ● Military Administration, ● Motor Vehicle Transport. The laboratory is designed for laboratory work in the discipline “Chemistry”, and provides laboratory classes in hydraulics, which is an integral part of the discipline “Fundamentals of Metrology, Hydraulics and Chemistry, Gunpowder and Explosives”. In the study of disciplines, considerable attention is paid to the laboratory workshop, which is published by the scientific and pedagogical staff of the department.

Mastering the theoretical material, the scope of which is determined by the course curriculum, depends on the correct organization of laboratory work, the task of which is not only to give the cadet the skills to conduct an experiment, competently and consistently perform it, but also to teach the cadet to think independently, draw correct conclusions and competently apply the acquired knowledge in further military affairs. To this end, the laboratory is equipped with the appropriate instruments and equipment necessary for laboratory tests and visual experiments. In particular, the laboratory staff and the head of the laboratory have constructed laboratory installations that are actively used in laboratory work to confirm the theoretical positions on the main topics and sections of the relevant disciplines. The laboratory is equipped with the following devices: ● distiller; ● pH meter 150 MI (determination of the pH of the medium of solutions and liquids), ● technical scales; ● technical electronic scales (weighing samples of materials, bulk solids, and liquids), ● psychrometric hygrometer (designed to determine air humidity); The material base of the laboratory is complemented by developed rationalization proposals that are good visual exhibits.
The laboratory is equipped with the following facilities:
 Laboratory unit for determining the molar mass of gas |
 Laboratory setup for studying the kinetic characteristics of the rate of chemical reactions |
 Laboratory setup for demonstration of solution electrolysis |
 Laboratory setup for determining the properties of electrolyte solutions |
 Laboratory unit for preparation of solutions of a certain concentration |
 Laboratory unit for determining the qualitative and quantitative analysis of individual organic substances |
The material and technical support of the laboratory allows for high-quality and affordable laboratory and practical classes on the following topics: ● Basic characteristics of explosives and gunpowder; ● Thermodynamic and kinetic characteristics of explosives and gunpowder; ● Inorganic explosives and gunpowder; ● Organic explosives; ● Fundamentals of electrochemistry; List of laboratory works conducted in the laboratory: 1.
