ASTM D445 Benchtop Viscometer
This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.
One (1) x Benchtop Automatic Viscosity instrument that meet the following specifications:
The benchtop automatic viscosity instrument shall conform to ASTM D445 - Standard Test Method for Kinematic Viscosity of Transparent and Opaque Liquids.
Performance: the time is measured for a fixed volume of liquid to flow under gravity through the capillary of a calibrated viscometer at a known temperature. The kinematic viscosity is the product of the measured flow time and the viscometer calibration constant.
The benchtop automatic viscosity instrument shall have the capability of:
- Automatically determination of kinematic viscosity IAW ASTM D445.
- Ubbelohde style viscosity tube..
- Operating on a 110V/115V/120V power supply.
- Use less than 1 liter of bath fluid
- Sample changer capable of holding a minimum of 10 samples.
- Non pressurized solvent cleaning system that contains solvent vapors.
- Automatic cleaning of viscometer and sample vials.
- Must include PC software to remotely control instrument.
- Must include a 1 - 100 and 3 - 300 centistoke viscosity tube, sample vials, and oil standards.
The software shall have the capability of:
- Controlling the bench top automatic viscosity instrument
- Data acquisition, processing/calculating, and storage
- Preprogrammed test parameters for ASTM D445.
- Displaying test results, status, and error messages
On-site training on the use of hardware and software for the operation of the benchtop automatic viscosity under standard conditions, and maintenance of the instrument
The contractor shall provide a comprehensive one-year parts and labor warranty that includes technical assistance by phone. The contractor must have qualified trained technicians on staff.
