The DHR Environmental Test Chamber Kit items are a achments designed for the TA Instruments’ Discovery Hybrid Rheometer-2 (DHR-2), which is an exis ng system in the Government facility.

The DMA, DMA Torsion Clamp, and DMA thermal computer, inclusive of support so ware that comes with the Discovery DMA850 requirement, are required fi ngs designed for the TA Instruments Q-Series DMA. The Q-Series DMA is an exis ng system that is currently being used to support sensors and sonar systems tes ng in the Government facility. If these items are not procured, a new DMA system with torsion clamps and upgraded support so ware would have to be procured and put into service in the Government facility adding addi onal cost and further program delays.
