- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for the Items listed below: ************************************************************* TITLE: Thrust Vector Control Breadboard (BB) Hydraulic Low Pressure Instrumentation Requirement Document Technical Point of Contact: Thomas Kraft; thomas.g.kraft@nasa.gov; 216-433-2936 NASA, Glenn Research Center is charged with developing the Thrust Vector Control (TVC) system for the Upper-Stage of the new ARES I launch vehicle. As part of this program we will be building a hydraulic breadboard system to evaluate the TVC hydraulic system components. The overall goal of the breadboard testing is to evaluate the functionality of each hydraulic system component (both steady state and dynamic), determine if each hydraulic component is adequately sized, and to see how all the hydraulic components operate when integrated into a complete TVC system. In order to characterize the hydraulic system, NASA GRC will require pressure, flow and temperature measurements throughout the system. This specific procurement is for instrumentation that will be placed in the low pressure side of hydraulic system. NASA GRC would like to have the pressure, temperature and flow instrumentation integrated together into one single mounting block assembly to simplify the integration of the instrumentation into the hydraulic system. This entire assembly, which includes the instrumentation mounting block, the pressure sensor, temperature sensor and flow sensor will be named the ?low pressure instrumentation assembly? for the remainder of this document. Below are the basic requirements for the low pressure instrumentation assembly. General Requirements for Low Pressure Instrumentation Assembly 1. Instrumentation Assembly Definition: As mentioned in the synopsis, vendor shall provide a mounting block along with the pressure, temperature and flow measurement sensors integrated into the block. All required mating electrical connectors for pressure, temperature and flow instruments is also considered part of the instrumentation assembly. The entire assembly described above is known as the Low Pressure instrumentation assembly. 2. Instrumentation Measurement Units: The low pressure instrumentation assembly shall be capable of reporting out measurements in the following units: a. Pressure: psig b. Temperature: ?F c. Flow: GPM 3. Fluid Medium: The low pressure instrumentation assembly shall be designed to operate with hydraulic fluid conforming to MIL-PRF-83282D 4. Calibration Certification: Vendor shall supply calibration certificate for all instrumentation. The calibration certificate shall be NIST traceable. 5. Operability: The low pressure instrumentation assembly shall be capable of operating under the following operating conditions: a. Operating Pressure: The low pressure instrumentation assembly shall be designed to operate with a maximum hydraulic pressure of 100 psig. b. Operating Fluid Temperature: The low pressure instrumentation assembly shall be designed to operate within a hydraulic system temperature range of +70 F to +250 F c. Flow Rate: The low pressure instrumentation assembly shall be designed to operate with a maximum hydraulic system flow rate of 25.0 GPM. 6. Survivability: The low pressure instrumentation assembly shall be capable of meeting the requirements in this document after being subjected to the following maximum system conditions: a. Maximum Hydraulic Pressure: 150 psig b. Maximum Fluid Temperature: 275 F c. Flow Rate: N/A 7. Temperature Compensation: If temperature compensation is required to meet specifications specified in this requirement document then temperature compensation shall be valid throughout the entire temperature range specified in section 5b above. 8. Maximum Pressure Drop Vendor shall supply to NASA GRC an estimate of the pressure drop (psig) between the inlet and outlet ports of low pressure instrumentation assembly at the maximum hydraulic system flow rate of 25.0 GPM. It is desirable to minimize the differential pressure across low pressure instrumentation assembly (< 5 psig). 9. Fluid Connections: SAE straight threads per MS33649 or equivalent are preferred for hydraulic inlet/outlet ports on instrumentation mounting block. All fluid connection information shall be sent to NASA GRC for concurrence/approval a. Ideally the port sizes on the inlet and outlet of low pressure instrumentation assembly block should be sized for 1? OD tube. 10. Instrumentation Type: a. Flow meter: Turbine type flow meter w/ magnetic pickup b. Temperature Sensor: RTD c. Pressure Sensor: Strain Gage 11. Input Power: 24 VDC 12. Electrical Output Signal: 4 ? 20 mA analog output signal preferred 13. Electrical Connections: All mating electrical connectors for pressure, temperature and flow instruments shall be provided by vendor and included in the quotation. All electrical connection information shall be sent to NASA GRC for informational purposes. Specific Performance Requirements for Instrumentation: 14. Instrument Response Time: a. Turbine Flow Meter: < 200 ms (> 5 Hz) b. Temperature Sensor: < 5 s (> .2 Hz) c. Pressure Sensor: < .4ms (> 2,500 Hz) 15. Instrument Accuracy: a. Turbine Flow Meter: +/- 1% Full Scale b. Temperature Sensor: +/- 5 Degrees F c. Pressure Sensor: +/- 1% Full Scale 16. Instrument Stability:≤ ? 0.5 % Full Scale for 1 year Pricing/Delivery Requirements: 17. Delivery Date: < 6 weeks ARO 18. Quantity: NASA GRC would like to obtain quotes and associated delivery for the following quantities: a. Qty (6) low pressure instrumentation assemblies and all required mating electrical connectors b. Qty (7) low pressure instrumentation assemblies and all required mating electrical connectors c. Qty (8) low pressure instrumentation assemblies and all required mating electrical connectors d.
