Description

for Blackbody cavity calibration bath

BACKGROUND The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) requires a blackbody cavity calibration bath which covers -20 °C to +130 °C operating range. The purpose of this bath is to maintain and extend capabilities of IR thermometer calibrations. The bath must support dry-air purges from the rear of the cavity for reduction of frost/condensation buildup and utilize a high heat-transfer fluid for minimizing temperature gradients and uniformity. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is seeking information from sources that may be capable of providing a solution that will achieve the specifications described below: Line Item 0001: Description: OB-15/2 BBLT Calibration Bath Quantity: 1 Line Item 0002: Description: ASTM standard blackbody cavity with 74 mm opening Quantity: 1 Line Item 0003: Description: Silicone oil fluid Quantity: 15 HOW TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE In responding to this notice, please DO NOT PROVIDE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.
