STATEMENT OF WORK

1. Objective/Requirements

This requirement is for the acquisition of a TA Instruments – Waters L.L.C. Discovery SDT650 for NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) for research and development work at the center. Personnel from TA Instruments – Waters L.L.C. will perform installation and training on the SDT650 system on-site at Building 4602, room 1185. The new instrument will enable heat flow and mass loss data from ambient to 1500°C.

Operational training will be provided after installation. A comprehensive support plan is included in this purchase.

QTY PART # DESCRIPTION

1 963000.901 MODULE SDT 650:

Discovery SDT 650 - Simultaneous DSC- TGA: From the world’s leader in Thermal Analysis, the new Discovery SDT 650 provides a true simultaneous measurement of heat flow (DSC) and weight change (TGA) on the same sample from ambient to 1500°C. A heat flux DSC design with separate sample and reference pans is used and is calibrated for heat flow measurements using sapphire.

The sample and reference beams can be easily changed in a couple of minutes with the included tool. Included standard are the new innovative “app-style” touch screen with One-Touch-Away functionality, and features automated furnace movement and a horizontal purge gas system with Gas Delivery Manifold (GDM), utilizing separate balance and sample gas flows. The GDM is programmable and allows switching between two gases. A separate Inconel tube permits introduction of reactive gases into the sample chamber. The Discovery SDT is field upgradeable to a 30 position autosampler. Other features include Hi-Res™ TGA, Modulated TGA™ & Modulated DSC®. The system includes TRIOS software, the most versatile control and analysis software package available.

TRIOS features a unique interface for programming experiments, managing and analyzing data files, intuitive spreadsheet views for autosampler control and sequencing, and automated calibration and verification programming. The Discovery SDT’s are the only DSC-TGA’s in the industry to include a five year warranty on furnaces. Note: TRIOS is compatible with Windows 7 and greater operating systems. Instrument requires DSL Router with four port switch (P/N: 251471.002)

1 999800.528 THERMAL INSTALL & TRAINING FEE:

Thermal and Rubotherm Installation & Training: Installation will be provided according to ISO 9000 procedure by one of our highly trained Service Engineers (average experience level of our field Service Engineers is over 15 years). The ISO 9000 procedure insures consistency and high quality throughout the installation process.

IQ/OQ procedures are available for an additional fee. The installation (except DMA) will include calibration with a traceable standard and a certificate of calibration. Basic Operational Training is also provided on the equipment after it is installed in your laboratory.

Note: Advanced Applications training/consulting is available for additional fee
