66 -- MECHANO DIELECTRIC ANALYSIS SYSTEM SOL N00173-98-Q-0028 POC Darlene Copp, Purchasing Agent, (202) 767-2374 Fax (202) 404-8158. The Naval Research Laboratory has a requirement for a controlled strain rheometer system for measuring stress relaxation, steady shear viscosity including start-up transients and dynamic mechanical response of polymetric melts. The actuator (drive system) must be suitable for quantitative measurement of normal forces, when an appropriate load cell is utilized (the load cell itself is not included in the required system). The instrument must be capable of interfacing to a IBM-compatible personal computer for operation and data collection and storage. (The pc itself is not included ). Oral request will not be accepted. See Numbered Note(s): 1. (0058)
