- Description
- NASA/MSFC has a requirement for a turn-key, multi-wavelength pyrometer whose expert system determines and displays the temperature, the on-line tolerance and signal strength (emissivity), spectral and total emissivity correction, and absorption/emission compensation. The system will use a spectrometer to measure the radiant intensities as a function of wavelength to determine these numbers. Measurement is either continuous or on operator demand. The thermal spectrum is displayed and the raw data, including emissivity versus wavelength, can be saved to non-volatile memory for later analysis. Instrument consists of optical input (sensor), fiberoptic interconnection cable, and console (Intel/Windows PC). Specifications: 1. This multi-wavelength spectrometer-based pyrometer shall have a dual temperature range of 800 ? 2500C and 1500 ? 4000C, accuracy of ? 0.2% for grey targets and ? 1% for non-grey targets between 800 and 2600C, reproducibility of ?1C, and resolution of 0.1C. To accomplish these requirements, the spectrometer shall use a grating to disperse the light into a wavelength range of 500 ? 1000 nanometers with the number of wavelengths being 500 having a resolution of 1 nanometer. The detector shall be made of silicon. Along with displaying the temperature, a tolerance or uncertainty of the temperature measurement as well as a mid-range emissivity value shall be displayed. This emissivity value shall be the ratio between the intensity of the signal from the target to the intensity of the signal from a blackbody calibration source at the same temperature as the target. Whether the emissivity is a relative or absolute value will depend on the differences in the operating conditions between the calibration and the target measurement performed by the operator2. The system will use one achromatic doublet, anti-reflectively coated lens assembly 6 inches long by 1.5 inches in diameter. The focal length can vary between 6 inches to 20 feet with corresponding target spot size diameters ranging from 0.010 to 1 inch (0.25 to 25mm). 3. Attached to this lens will be one 7-meter interconnecting armored multimode fiberoptic made of low OH silica-silica. The fiber ends will be terminated with SMA-type connectors. 4. One Helium-Neon low-power laser will be provided that is attachable to the fiberoptic to supply a visible spot on the target for aiming the pyrometer. 5. The computer system shall have an industrial closure within which is enclosed the CPU (at least 1.2 GHz Celeron), hard drive (at least 80GB, 52x24x52 CDRW), RAM (at least 512 MB), ethernet board (10/100), and a serial, parallel, and 2 USB ports. Windows 2000 Professional shall come installed. A 15? LCD monitor shall be provided. The industrial closure shall have 88 CFM intake with a washable filter, have the capability of providing 400W of power, and weigh 50 lbs. with front-mounted handles and be 19? rack mountable. 6. The spectropyrometer?s software shall provide the capability to allow the user to specify the path and a unique name for the datafiles. This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation, which is issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ); quotes are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. Offerors are required to use the On-Line RFQ system to submit their quote. The On-line RFQ system is linked above or it may be accessed at http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/eps/bizops.cgi?gr=C&pin= . The information required by FAR Subpart 12.6 is included in the on-line RFQ. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13. Questions regarding this acquisition must be submitted in e-mail to Barry.Kaigler@msfc.nasa.gov no later than 9/20/2005 by 4:30 p.m., CST. It is the quoter's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of amendments (if any). Potential quoters will be responsible for downloading their own copy of this notice, the on-line RFQ and amendments (if any).
