About this file

This document is an amendment to a federal solicitation for modifications to the Converter Compressor Facility at Kennedy Space Center. The amendment provides responses to contractor questions about process piping specifications. It clarifies that the correct part number for filters meeting ASME B31.3 requirements is 4932SPG-10DM-S4, rather than those listed in the drawings. It also specifies that the maximum system operating pressure is 6,000 psig, not 6,600 psig, and confirms flow rate and temperature requirements. The response maintains the original proposal due date of February 26, 2020. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is seeking these modifications to support operations for the Space Launch System Block 1B program at Kennedy Space Center, Florida.

Solicitation No. 80KSC020R0001, Amendment 08 Page 2 of 2

Reference Question Date Received Topic Response Reference Drawing 79K40378, Sheet MP-106 & MP-

MP-106 & M-108 shows GHE Filters A602045, A602049, A602658& A602659, with associated parts number. MFG states that these valve are not B31.3 Compliant. MFG rep is requesting the following clarifications to size the filters accordingly to meet the B31.3 • Is the Max Operating pressure 6600 psig due to RV A602092

upstream set at 6600 psig up requirement? •What is the flow rate
of the filters? •Is the 450 deg temperature rating correct? Note:

this makes a big difference in selection material of construction, size etc. which effect cost dramatically • Can a safety factor of 4:1 be used in lieu of B31.3 requirements?

2/11/2020 Process Piping In consultation with the manufacturer, Norman Filters, the corrected part number should be 4932SPG-10DM-S4, instead of the part number listed on the drawings. This meets ASME B31.3 requirements.

• The maximum system operating pressure is 6,000 PSIG. 6,600 PSIG is the relief valve set pressure. The new part number is unaffected by this consideration.

• Analysis shows the flow rate is 50 ft/s at the GHe supply piping.

• The 450 deg F temperature concern is at the discharge of the scavenger compressor. It will be lower at the filters. The part number is unaffected by this consideration.

• No. The new part is ASME B31.3 compliant.
