Attachment 1: Performance Work Statement (PWS)

Performance Work Statement (PWS) Large Diameter Hydrostatic Testing

Scope Background The Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Carderock Division is investigating alternative locations to perform hydrostatic testing. The testing includes full-scale and large-scale models of undersea structures and structural details.

Objective Identify potential vendors to perform hydrostatic testing for undersea structures and structural details.

Limitations & Assumptions The Department of the Navy has a need for hydrostatic testing on different sized structural test articles to a variety of pressures.

The tests may be performed at atmospheric temperature.

Many of the hydrostatic tests require real time monitoring of structural response generally obtained through foil or fiber optic strain sensors.

Information Sought Please provide the following information for each pressure vessel available for hydrostatic testing:

· The internal height & diameter of the vessel

· The maximum allowable operating pressure of the vessel

· The maximum quantity of foil strain channels that may be passed through the test chamber wall during hydrostatic test.

· Alternately, provide number of ports available for passing signals through the test chamber wall and cross section for each port

· The available testing mediums of the vessel (i.e. water, oil, etc.)
