PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT FOR FIRE MATERIAL TESTING

1.0 INTRODUCTION

The Contractor shall provide engineering services for fire material testing and oversight, to the Battery Certification Integration (BCI) branch at NSWC Carderock Code 636. The Battery Certification and Integration Branch (BCI) at NSWC Carderock Code 636 provides research, development, engineering and evaluation support to the U.S. Navy for power sources for naval warfare systems. As part of this work, abusive testing of lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries is conducted which requires analysis of the chemicals released during failure. To support this analysis, BCI requires fire science testing. Specifically, lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries will be subject to abusive test conditions which results in fire, smoke, and venting of aerosolized electrolyte vapors.

3.1 Full-scale Fire Testing: The contractor shall provide engineering services including performing fire testing onsite at NSWCCD and provide fire protection expertise such as expert oversight to novice and journey level candidates for large scale testing. The contractor shall provide thirty-five (35) fire tests including setup, analysis, and cleanup for each test at NSWCCD. The contractor shall perform and support full-scale testing of materials in accordance with ASTM

E2067. The contractor shall use an oxygen consumption calorimetry exhaust hood capable of measuring heat release rate up to 1 MW. The contractor must use exhaust hoods capable of providing a volumetric flow rate of at least 1000 cubic feet per minute (cfm) up to 6000 cfm to perform ASTM E2067.

3.1.1 The contractor shall provide twenty-one fires tests (21) without technical reports.

3.1.2 The contractor shall provide fourteen (14) technical reports detailed technical report when required with data and conclusions that include at minimum the following information photos and graphical representations;

description of heat release and gas analysis testing, test calibration, ASTM E2067 calibration results, test approach, open air test results of combustible smoke/venting production, toxic gas production, fraction effective dose, and a discussion and summary. (CDRL A001).

3.1.3 The contractor shall also provide maintenance and calibration for the following NSWCCD fire test equipment. NSWCCD operates two large-scale oxygen consumption calorimetry exhaust hoods. One hood is capable of measuring a 1 megawatt (MW) fire. The second hood is dedicated to intermediate scale testing, capable of measuring a 100 kilowatt (kW) fire. These exhaust hoods are used in tests that simulate high temperatures and heat fluxes with direct flame impingement. Each hood is equipped with an optical sensor, pressure transducer, stack thermocouples, and combustion gas ports for measuring oxygen (O2), carbon dioxide (CO2), and carbon monoxide (CO). Both hood calorimeters are operated using LabView programming. The “Burn-through Fire Test” in accordance with MIL-STD-2031 Appendix B, quarter-scale test, and the full-scale test, in accordance with ISO 9705 “Fire Tests – Full-scale Room Test for Surface Products” are conducted using either of the exhaust hoods in NSWCCD, West Bethesda, building 41.

3.2 Fire Testing at NRL CBD. The contractor shall be experienced with large scale testing and shall perform the following tasks at Naval Research Laboratory Chesapeake Beach Detachment (NRL-CBD).

3.3

3.3.1 The contractor shall perform twenty-nine (29) Large Scale Fire Tests conducted in support of Carderock battery safety characterizations at Naval Research Laboratory Chesapeake Beach Detachment (NRL-CBD).

The contractor shall review the draft test plan for both technical content and safety procedures and coordinate with NRL-CBD staff including necessary requirements for site access for all test participants and visitors.

The contractor shall also provide a mobile system available for calorimetry which contains the necessary gas pumps, desiccant, flow controllers, and oxygen, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide gas sensors. This mobile system will allow for measurement of the fire intensity during battery fire testing in general accordance with the requirements of ASTM E 2067, Standard Practice for Full-Scale Oxygen Consumption Calorimetry Fire Tests and/or ISO 24473, Fire Tests – Open Calorimetry – Measurement of the rate of production of heat and combustion products for fires up to 40 MW. In addition to this system, the contractor shall also prepare the system for smoke density measurement in the duct using a red laser optical density meter (ODM) installed in the smoke exhaust hood and shall coordinate setup, install and measurement for any additional exhaust gases.

3.3.1.1 The contractor shall provide two fires tests (2) without technical reports.

3.3.1.2 The contractor shall provide twenty-seven detailed technical report when required with data and conclusions upon competition of testing that include at minimum the following information photos and graphical representations; description of heat release and gas analysis testing, test calibration, ASTM E2067 calibration results, test approach, open air test results of combustible smoke/venting production, toxic gas production, fraction effective dose, and a discussion and summary. (CDRL A001).
