- Description
- THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS WERE POSTED: I was wondering if you could give a better description of the inner glass door with four operation ports (no outer window/light. I am not quite sure what exactly you are looking for, so if you could give clearer description, I would appreciate it. The inner glass door in the Espec chamber is provided in lieu of: a window in the door; a light in the chamber; and gloves. The manufacturer’s information indicates the following: “Allows full-view of the workspace when the outer insulated door is opened. Two glove ports enable you to reach in and manipulate the test samples. The standard window is deleted.” The window, light, and gloves are acceptable alternatives 1) Inner glass door with four operational ports (no outer window/light). We presume this is requesting two doors - an outer door with no window and not light for the area between the doors, and an inner door made of glass (or with a glass viewing area) as well two sets (total of four openings) of glove ports, which only are accessible after opening the outer door. Is this a correct interpretation ??? Does the window need to be made of glass ??? Or can it be made of Plexiglas ??? We need either the inner glass door with ports, per the Espec chamber (see http://www.espec.com/na/gallery/image_med/63/platinous), or a viewing window and gloves. 2) Regards Specification 9. Facilities: Does it require the humidity supply to be included in the system ??? or quoted as an available option ??? The humidity supply (plumbed or reservoir) needs to be included. 3) Regards Specification 12. Window: This seems to contradict the inner glass door requirement. Please clarify. We need either the inner glass door with ports, per the Espec chamber (see http://www.espec.com/na/gallery/image_med/63/platinous), or a viewing window and gloves. 4) Regards Specification 13. # of Access Ports: When standing in front of the door of the unit and facing the unit, should the access port be on the left hand side of the unit ??? or the right hand side ??? Left side is preferred. 5) Regards Specification 14. Gloves Port: Spec is asking for one set which would be two (2) holes. Again, this seems to contradict the inner glass door with four operation ports. Please clarify. we need either the inner glass door with ports, per the Espec chamber (see http://www.espec.com/na/gallery/image_med/63/platinous), or a viewing window and gloves. 6) Regards Specification 15. Shelves: does one set mean one (1) shelf ??? If not, how many shelves in a set ??? One shelf is acceptable. Also, are there current units accomplishing these tests ??? Yes. and if so, what brand and or manufacturer ??? Tenney TH-27C.. Are the test specimens energized during all of the tests? Yes. 2. What are dimensions of the largest test specimen? Undefined. However, historically the largest has been per the specification. 3. How many test specimens will be tested at any given time? Up to four small handheld detectors in a subchamber (approximately 7 liters, see STPs) or one of the large specimens. 4. Are the test specimens composed of primarily aluminum and electronic components? Varies, but the largest specimens have been. 5. I need clarification of the four operation ports in the glass door? We need either the inner glass door with ports, per the Espec chamber (see http://www.espec.com/na/gallery/image_med/63/platinous), or a viewing window and gloves. 6. Are the glove ports to be mounted in the glass door? We need either the inner glass door with ports, per the Espec chamber (see http://www.espec.com/na/gallery/image_med/63/platinous), or a viewing window and gloves in the outer door. 7. What electrical classifications does the chamber have to meet? Interior? Exterior? No hazardous locations approvals required.
