About this file
This document is a technical specification for the procurement of expansion joints for the E1 Test Stand Liquid Hydrogen Vent Line at the John C. Stennis Space Center. The specification provides detailed requirements for the design, fabrication, inspection, testing, cleaning, packaging, and delivery of two 30-inch and 42-inch universal tied expansion joints. Key requirements include material compatibility with liquid and gaseous hydrogen, methane, and natural gas; temperature range of -423°F to 150°F; pressure rating of 150 psig; and specific movement capabilities and cycle life. The document references relevant ASME and NASA standards, and outlines mandatory submittal requirements and hold points for NASA surveillance and approval prior to fabrication and shipment.
The related federal contract opportunity is a special notice for the procurement of the E1 LH Vent High Pressure Vent Line, which NASA/NSSC intends to acquire through a sole source contract with Senior Operations LLC. The government will evaluate any responses to this notice solely to determine if the procurement should be competed, with the final decision resting solely with the government. The procurement will use commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR Parts 12 and 13.

A manufacturer that commences work without a NASA review to ensure compliance of the submittal with the specification assumes all risks associated with rework, delay and other effects resulting from a nonconforming article should a subsequent review reveal that the vendor’s submittal did not comply with the requirements of the specification.
1.4 REQUIREMENTS:
Each expansion joint shall be designed, fabricated, tested, cleaned, and delivered in accordance with the detailed requirements of this specification and the attached data sheets. The Contractor shall meet or exceed the requirements. The Contractor shall take whatever additional measures are necessary in his design, fabrication, inspection, and testing to produce an expansion joint, which will satisfactorily pass the tests specified herein without damage.
Where specific requirements are set forth, and where such specific requirements depart from requirements or alternatives contained in any documents referenced herein, the specific requirements contained herein shall govern and take precedence. The general requirements for each type of expansion joint are provided within the body of this specification with specific requirements for each expansion joint type provided in data sheets located in the appendices.
1.4.1 DESIGN
The following requirements shall be met for the design of metal expansion joints.
The bellows are to be designed in accordance with the referenced standards and codes in Section 1.2 of this specification.
Bellows material shall be specified and must be compatible with the flowing medium, the external environment, and the operating temperature.
The expansion joint shall be free of all control devices such as self-equalizing rings.
The tie-rods, or external hinge mechanisms, of the universal expansion joint shall be designed to take pressure thrust force plus an additional 5000 pounds of thrust force.
The tie-rods or external hinge mechanisms shall also be designed as the support for the whole unit. The vendor shall advise the customer if additional support is required.
If tie-rods are used, double nuts shall be provided with permanent locks to prevent unwanted movement.
Lifting lugs shall be provided for expansion joint weight of more than 200 pounds. If more than one lug, each lug should be designed to carry the entire weight.
Tie-rods and external hinge mechanism attachments that completely constrain circumferential expansion or contraction of the pipe are not permitted.
A purge connection shall be provided at the upstream side of each bellows section on each expansion joint assembly such that cleaning agents can be sprayed into the annulus section between the respective bellows and the liner and such that purge gases can be supplied into and vented out of the same annulus. Each of these purge connections shall be an SAE AS5202-16 (one inch) boss.
1.4.2 FABRICATION
Customer approval of drawings shall not relieve the manufacturer of responsibility for the bellow design.
When an internal liner or sleeve is required, a flow arrow indicating the direction of flow shall be plainly visible on the outside of the expansion joint.
A stainless steel name plate should be attached to the expansion joint permanently which shall have the information specified on the data sheet under Markings.
Noticeable punch or die marks resulting from thin expansion joints shall be cause of rejection.
Sheet material for bellows shall be free from flaws. No repairs of any nature shall be permitted.
1.5 QUALITY ASSURANCE:
The Contract Administrator and Government reserve the right for an authorized representative to inspect all work at all times during and upon completion of fabrication and to witness any or all tests. The Contractor shall notify the SSC COR or Government prior to start of fabrication as well as when the expansion joints are completed and ready for final inspection and test. The Contractor shall cooperate fully to enable the SSC COR or Government designated representative to be present at the performance of any or all tests and any other activity as specifically requested. The Contractor shall furnish all equipment and materials for all tests except where specially stated otherwise.
