- Description
- Under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, the U.S. Army RDECOM Acquisition Center- Natick; Natick, MA 01760, intends award a Sole Source Purchase Order for $83,780.00 to Measured Solutions Incorporated, located at 1200 Woodruff Road, Greenville SC,. This requirement is for a Favimat Tester. This tester simultaneously measures fiber fine ness and load/elongation behavior. The simultaneous measurements of mechanical properties is required for the determination M5 pilot plant production line quality, establishing the viability of carbon nanotube mechanical properties, and establishing the lo ng-term stability of supercritical CO2 processing of Zylon fibers. Simultaneous measurements are required because separate measurements lead to errors in the mechanical properties due to the differing length of fiber used in each. Favimat is capable of measuring fiber denier between .5 dtex - 200 dtex, breaking load: up to 210 cN - (1 centinewton = 1.0197162 gram-force). The machine is capable of testing fibers of gauge length between 10mm - 50mm. The machine has rs232 output, and windows - based softw are. The principal unique qualification of the machine is that it is capable of simultaneous measurement of linear density and mechanical properties. There is a requirement to have it delivered by October 29, 2004 for ballistic testing. Questions may be a ddressed to Stephen Abate via email at stephen.abate@natick.army.mil no later than 3:00pm EDT, Tuesday September 14, 2004. This notification shall not be misconstrued as a request for quote.
