- Description
- The vendor will provide 80,000 L of high-purity, propulsion-grade xenon to NASA. The xenon will be provided in gas cylinders provided by the vendor that have valid certifications that last at least one year and have rare gas valves. NASA requires xenon that is ultra-high purity, propulsion grade 99.999+ percent xenon be delivered in a Type 2 or Type K steel compressed gas cylinders that are rated for greater than 2000 psig internal pressure and meet or exceed DOT CFR 49 regulations. The bottles shall nominally be 9 inches in diameter and 51 inches tall, not including the cylinder valve, with approximately 44 L internal volume at 21 degrees Celsius and 1 atmosphere pressure. Each of the bottles shall be filled with no more than 5,000 liters of xenon. Each bottle shall have a rare-gas valve with bellows seal to eliminate stem leakage and a CGA 580 valve fitting. The cylinders will be provided by the manufacturer and must have at least 1 year remaining prior to the required cylinder retest date. Cylinder monthly demurrage costs and the cost to purchase cylinders shall be included for NASA selection. The measured xenon purity shall be greater than or equal to 99.999 percent and meet the requirements for impurities listed below by measuring the impurities in each individual bottle. The xenon impurity level requirements are: less than or equal to 0.1 ppm oxygen (O2), less than or equal to 0.1 ppm water (H2O), less than or equal to 0.5 ppm carbon monoxide (CO), less than or equal to 0.5 ppm carbon dioxide (CO2), less than or equal to 0.1 ppm carbon tetra-fluoride (CF4), less than or equal to 0.1 ppm total hydrocarbons (THC), less than or equal to 1 ppm nitrogen (N2), less than or equal to 2 ppm hydrogen (H2), less than or equal to 5 ppm krypton (Kr), less than or equal to 1 ppm argon (Ar), less than or equal to 10.4 ppm total impurities, and the remaining balance xenon. A certificate of analysis is required for each cylinder to verify purity requirements.
