PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

Ion Chromatograph

26 June 2019

1.0. DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENTS

The Chemical Flight within the 809th Maintenance Support Squadron (Science and Engineering Lab) is required to purchase an Ion Chromatograph (IC). The ion chromatograph will verify the sulfur and chloride content in hydraulic fluids used in multiple pieces of equipment and aircraft at Hill AFB. It is required to run these tests per Mil-prf 5606, Mil-prf 83282, Mil-prf 6083 and Mil-prf 46170. This instrument will also be used to test the chemical content of plating solution tanks used by the 309 CMXG in the repair and maintenance of A-10, C-130, F-22 and F-35 wheels, landing gear and other critical parts.

1.1. ACCESSORIES AND SPECIFICATIONS

The IC system must meet the following specifications and possess the following capabilities:

• Must be a totally integrated and configurable ion chromatograph consisting of at least a HPIC pump with the ability to be field upgradeable to include a conductivity detector and cell, column oven, degas, eluent generation and consumable tracking.

• Must be high pressure compatible, i.e. capable of continuously operating and displaying chromatographic results at pressures of 5000 psi using the appropriate high pressure consumables.

• Must be capable of using ion chromatography columns consisting of 4µm diameter particle sizes to speed up analysis time.

• Must use electrolytic eluent generation integrated into the system.

• Must be configured with conductivity detection. The detector must be integrated into the system.

• Must have an electrically controlled eluent on-off valve, electrically controlled injector valve, electrolytically regenerated suppressor, and the appropriate columns.

• Must have inert, nonmetallic PEEK (polyether ether ketone) fluidic components throughout the system flow path to ensure solvent compatibility and metal contamination-free chromatography.

• A factory installed thermally controlled detector compartment must be included.

• An upgradable column oven must be included.

• Must utilize optical leak detection for laboratory safety and management to allow fast response to system leaks.

• Suppressor must be operated continuously. Suppressor regeneration must be carried out electrolytically without use of chemical regenerant in either recycled or external water mode.

• Must allow for advanced single-range digital output that is auto ranging with operating range to

15000 µS/cm full-scale and single-range analog signal output to 15000 µS/cm.

• Must have a built-in vacuum degas assembly which provides in-line degassing of eluents ensuring reproducibility and protection of eluents from contamination and decomposition. Control of the degas operation must be able to be automated to sense when degassing is required.

• The IC system must meet the requirements of EPA Methods 300.0 and 300.1 Parts A and Part B, ISO 10304-1, or equivalent local standardized methods.

• IC system must include at least two 24” Monitors, Computer workstation with mouse and keyboard, all required cables and connections to connect and operate the IC system with included software and laser jet printer.
