Default World's Longest abbreviation eh?


What is the world's longest abbreviation?

Our first question is 'why is abbreviation such a long word?'

This abbreviation may just explain it, it is the world's longest abbreviation containing 56 letters:

NIIOMTPLABOPARMBETZHELBETRABSBOM
ONIMONKONOTDTEKHSTROMONT


Meaning:

Laboratory for Shuttering, Reinforcement, Concrete and Ferroconcrete Operations for Composite-monolithic and Monolithic Constructions of the Department of Technology of Building Assembly Operations of the Scientific Research Institute of the Organization for Building Mechanization and Technical Aid of the Academy of Building and Architecture of the USSR.
