The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP) located in Washington, DC is in need of a Tensile Tester and PPS Roughness Tester.� The Tensile Tester is required to perform the tensile test suitable for testing tensile strength of film, sheet, paper, paperboard, etc.� The BEP requires the equipment to perform tensile strength testing for papers that are frequently handled such as currency (bank note) paper, non-distinctive banknote paper and miscellaneous materials.� The Tensile Strength Test is performed according to TAPPI method T 494.� Tensile Strength is the maximum load that a material can support without fracture when being stretched, divided by the original cross-sectional area of the material.� PPS Roughness Tester Equipment is required to perform PPS Roughness testing for papers that are frequently handled such as currency, currency paper, non-distinctive banknote paper and miscellaneous materials.� Additionally, the TAPPI T 555 Parker-surf method measures the roughness of paper and paper board under conditions intended to simulate the nip pressures and backing substrates found in printing processes.� The measuring principle is that of determining the resistance to flow or air between the test surface and a metal band in contact with it. BEP is looking for contractor�s that supply both the Tensile Tester and PPS Roughness Tester.� However, if BEP cannot find a vendor that can supply both pieces of equipment BEP will consider issuing separate awards.
