66 -- INSTRUMENTS SOL N0016100Q0083 DUE 080500 POC Mrs Wilma Phoebus 410-293-3398 FAX 410-293-5293 The U. S. Naval Academy has a requirement to purchase a AR1000N with BSP: Rheometer with widest torque range available [0.0001 to 100mNm], high resolution [0.62micro rad], and Normal Force capability [0.01 to 50N]. Complete with Blank Sample Plate [BSP], and automatic gap set. System needs to include Rheology Advantage Flow, Creep, and Oscillation software for data acquisition and analysis. Part number 541052.901. 1 each. Rheometer Installation Kit: Comprises filter, regulator, and power strip. Part number 595001.901. 1 each. Installation & Training: Installation needs to be provided according to ISO 9000 procedure by one of your highly trained Service Engineers (average experience level of your field Service Engineers is over 15 years). The ISO 9000 procedure insures consistency and high quality throughout the installa- tion process.IQ/OQ procedures are available for an additional fee. If a DSC, TGA, TMA or reheometer are part of this order, the installation will include calibration with a traceable standard and a certificate of calibration. Training will need to be provided on the equipment after it is installed in our laboratory. Part number 924999.901. 1 each. Environmentl Test Chamber[ETC] Temperature range ambient to 400 degree C. For use with ETC plates/cones and sample clamps for solids. Temperature range can be extended with a variety of low temperature options. Part number 543000.901. 1 each. ETC Low Tempera- ture Fittings without LN2 Dewar: When used in conjunction with a suitable source of liquid nitrogen the range of ETC is extended to -150 degree C. Part number 543006.901. 1 each. ETC Torsion Clamps Accessory Kit: For use with solid rectangular sample. Kit includes lower stage, upper clamp holder, three (3) sets of clamp faces, digital calipers, and torque wrench. Part number 543014.901. 1 each. ETC Parallel Plate Accessory Kit: For use with fluids and/or melts. Kit needs to include lower stage, upper plate holder, set of 40mm plates, set of 25mm plates, 10 melt rings, and brass brush and scraper. Part number 543015.901. 1 each. Rheology Advantage Specialty Software Library: Include Time Temperature Superposition [TTS] that allows manual and automatic shifting of dynamic, creep, and flow data generated on AR1000/500, and dynamic, creep, and stress relaxation data generated on a DMA 2980. Shift factors can be fitted to Arrhenius and WLF models, and Master curves can also be generated. Also include analysis routines that allow interconversion of viscoelastic parameters through relaxation and retardation spectra, and calculation of molecular weight. Part number 595120.907. 1 each.
