The size standard for NAICS is 1000 Emp. The requirement is to provide two (2) Beckman Coulter High Accuracy (HIAC) Particle Counter 8011+ instruments, brand name or equal. The Particle Counter is a scientific instrument that measures particle contamination in hydraulic fluid IA W FED-STD-791 D, Method 3012. GSA SIN/MAS 66 619 SOO is attached. Salient Characteristics: 2 Each: 8011+System, includes HRLD-100 Sensor (1.3 to 100μ) with an ACFTD in MIL-5606 oil calibration. 2 Each: 2089711-01 Pump, Pump 100V, Vacuum/Pressure. 1 Each: 2089710-01, Kit, Thermal Printer, USB, 3 inch 1. This instrument must fully comply with FED-STD-791 D, Method 3012 test methodology for the determination of Particulate Matter in Aerospace Hydraulic Fluid samples. a) Must be an automatic particle counter with a minimum of five channels, fitted with photoelectric level detectors and a liquid sensor suitable for counting particles b) Must be able to count particle in the 0.5-600 μm range size c) Must have an electromagnetic stirrer for liquid agitation 2. The particle counter must be able to deliver flow rates of 10 to 200 mL/min, handle sample volume of 1 to 100mL and a minimum concentration limit of 10,000 particles/mL a) Must have an automatic bottle sampler with a built-in pressure/vacuum chamber that can subject samples to pressures up to 60 psi b) Must have a timer that is accurate to the second +/- 0.5 c) Must have automatic sample flow for precision data d) Must have automatic notification of calibration due date 3. Must have a solvent disperser that's fitted with a </= 0.45 μm membrane filter at the outlet. a) Must be capable of handling high viscosity fluids < 425cSt b) Must automatically clean and flush system to eliminate cross contamination of samples, sensor alarm must be available to alert user in advance NOTE: RESPONSES TO THIS SOURCES SOUGHT SHALL STATE IF THEY ARE A SUPPLIER OR MANUFACTURER!
