(b) If the offeror, or its subcontractor(s), believes that the proposal contains trade secrets or confidential commercial or financial information exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, (5 U.S.C. 552), the cover page of each copy of the proposal shall be marked with the following legend:
"The information specifically identified on pages ______ of this proposal constitutes trade secrets or confidential commercial and financial information which the offeror believes to be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. The offeror requests that this information not be disclosed to the public, except as may be required by law. The offeror also requests that this information not be used in whole or part by the government for any purpose other than to evaluate the proposal, except that if a contract is awarded to the offeror as a result of or in connection with the submission of the proposal, the Government shall have the right to use the information to the extent provided in the contract."

Cyclic
Corrosion Tester
Features Q-FOG corrosion test chambers deliver the precise volume and uniformity of fog called for in major cor-rosion test standards. Variable relative humidity control is also available as an option, as is shower capa-bility. Q-FOG testers can be configured with optional features like the Rapid Ramp Heater, Top-Mounted Swaying Shower Bar, and Wall Wash, to meet almost any testing need. Q-FOG internal chambers are constructed of reinforced fiberglass to avoid corrosion. Dual, full-color touchscreen displays allow for easy user programming and operation, available in 17 languages. The Q-FOG Gen 4 system includes complete self-diagnostics, including warning messages, routine service reminders, and safety shut down.
Model SSP for Prohesion or Conventional Salt Spray Tests The Q-FOG SSP corrosion tester can perform numerous accelerated corrosion tests, including continuous salt spray (ASTM B117 and ISO 9227) and Prohesion (ASTM G85 Annex 5). The Prohesion test uses fast cycling, rapid temperature changes, a low humidity dry-off cycle, and a different corrosive solution to provide a realistic test.
Model CCT for Corrosion Research and Cyclic Automotive Tests The Q-FOG model CCT has all the advantages of the model SSP, but adds the flexibility of including a 95-100% Humid Function. The Q-FOG CCT model can meet many automotive corrosion test methods that require exposing specimens to a repetitive cycle of salt spray, high humidity, low humidity dry-off, and ambient conditions. Additionally, the CCT model is able to run Copper-Accelerated Acetic-Acid Salt Spray (CASS) tests such as ASTM B368 or ISO 9227 CASS.
Model CRH for Cyclic Automotive Tests with Variable Relative Humidity (RH) Control The Q-FOG model CRH meets most major modern automotive corrosion test standards, such as GMW 14872, Ford L-467, SAE J2334, Renault ECC1, and others from ISO, VW, Volvo, Chrysler, and others. It allows for full variable relative humidity control through the use of an innovative Air Preconditioner. In addition to salt fog, CRH models feature fully-programmable stationary or top-mounted swaying shower features that can quickly apply salt solution. The Rapid Ramp Heater option allows for fast transitions between different chamber conditions to comply with difficult-to-meet test methods like JASO M609, even with a fully-loaded chamber.

| 1) | Nomenclature designations for CRH chambers: relative humidity control (H), stationary shower (S), top-mounted swaying shower bar (T), Air Preconditioner (C), rapid ramp heaters (R). |
| 2) | Chamber dimensions are approximate, since the chamber is a complex shape that is tapered vertically. |
| 3) | Achievable test conditions, including maximum and minimum setpoints and transitions between steps, are influenced by laboratory ambient conditions and interdependen- |
cies between test parameters.
4) In CRH models, relative humidity (RH) control feature replaces the Dwell, Humid, and Dry-Off functions. Model CCT features a 95-100% RH function; model SSP does not have high RH capability. See technical manual for more detailed information, including RH performance versus lab conditions.
| 5) | Standard kits include 8 (600 L) or 10 (1100 L) panel holder racks. In order to maximize panel capacity, additional individual panel holders may be purchased. |
| 6) | Water purity requirements can be met by most reverse osmosis, deionization, or distillation systems. Ensure pH is 6-8. Model CRH requires higher-purity water because of |
the wet bulb wick (for RH measurement/control). Lower-purity water may be used, but will require more frequent wick changes and the potential for erroneous RH readings.
| 7) | CRH requires slightly higher minimum water pressure to accommodate self-cleaning spray nozzle feature. |
| 8) | Max consumption values are during Humid/RH function in CCT and CRH models; typical consumption will be much lower. Additionally, water system must be sized to |
accommodate maximum peak demand during short duration bubble tower refill step at 0.4 L/min.
| 9) | See Technical Manual for important information regarding proper drain and vent setup requirements; failure to follow will impact tester performance. |
| 10) | Width calculated with CRH air pre-conditioner situated on right-hand side of CRH tester with a gap of at least 5 cm (2 in). The air pre-conditioner may alternatively be positioned |
behind the CRH tester or elsewhere with an optional kit. Air Preconditioner dimensions (w × d × h) are 82 × 93 × 101 cm (32 × 37 × 39 in) ; weight is 91 kg (200 lb).
| 11) | Voltages shown are +/-10% and 50/60 Hz. |
| 12) | Operating outside these conditions can result in temperature, humidity, or other faults. Never operate in laboratory ambient conditions >36 °C or >80% RH. |
