- Description
- The NOvA Project is a high energy physics (HEP) experiment that has a large volume of liquid scintillator as its active detector medium contained within PVC extrusions. The liquid scintillator is composed of Pseudocumene as the primary scintillant and two (2) waveshifters blended with the mineral oil solvent. This RFP is for the procurement of 144,000 gallons of Pseudocumene to be delivered uniformly from mid 2011 through 2013 for the NOvA Far Detectories. All deliveries are in the Chicago area. The requirements for the Pseudocumene are shown below: Purity : >=98.1% Specific Gravity : Specific Gravity between 0.875 and 0.882 at 60 degrees F, measured via ASTM D 4052 or ASTM D 1298 Total Sulphur : <=2.0 ppm Pt-Co Color : <= +25 Color units - measured via ASTM D 1500 A timely Sample will be required for testing purposes in order to be considered for this Procurement.
