UNSPSC 41113331: Freezing and thawing tester

A type of tester that tests the resistance on freezing and thawing of liquid phase or mortar.

UNSPSC 41113331 Freezing and thawing tester is a Commodity code representing laboratory equipment and testing apparatus that state and local governments procure to evaluate material durability and performance under thermal cycling conditions. State and local agencies buy these testers primarily for materials research, quality assurance, and compliance verification in construction, transportation, and environmental testing contexts. The equipment is used across departments of transportation, state laboratories, municipal engineering offices, and university research facilities to assess how materials — concrete, asphalt, masonry, coatings, and composites — withstand repeated freeze-thaw cycles that simulate seasonal weather stress. Issuing bodies span state transportation departments, county public works offices, city engineering divisions, and university systems, with procurement typically driven by standards-compliance testing requirements and material qualification programs.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities under this code. Without documented recent solicitations, specific geographic concentration, issuing-body frequency, or posted RFP or RFQ activity cannot be identified. Firms pursuing this code should monitor state department of transportation solicitations and university research equipment procurements for freezing and thawing testers, which may appear under related materials-testing equipment codes or be bundled into broader laboratory services RFPs rather than solicited as standalone commodity purchases.
