All surfaces of the self-lubricated components that come into contact with the mating running surfaces shall have a minimum dielectric strength of 200V/mm as tested per ASTM D 149. The bearing solid lubricant shall meet the following two qualifiers:

QUALIFIER 1-The self-lubricating material shall have been tested and approved under CERL 99/104 "Greaseless Bushings for Hydropower Applications: Program, Testing, and Results” by Powertech Labs Inc., 12388-88th Ave., Surrey, B.C., Canada V3W 7R7 or by an equivalent independent testing firm (see paragraph

2.5 of the Statement of Work). Provide copy of test report and evaluation.

QUALIFIER 2-The bearing lubricant shall have been successfully used in at least five outdoors applications similar to this application for at least 2 years. Provide locations, description of specified loads, and point of contact for each reference application. Point of contact information shall include at least: full name, phone number, and e-mail address.

2.6 SELF-LUBRICATED MATERIALS

Manufacturers load capacity ratings shall be based on the projected bearing area (width x diameter). The self-lubricating bearings shall have a dynamic load capacity of at least 6 ksi (41 MPa) for surface speeds up to 10 fpm (.05 m/s). The static and dynamic coefficients of friction shall not exceed 0.10 when subjected to loads up to 6 ksi. Self lubricated materials shall have a temperature operating range of -40 to 150 degrees F.

2.6.1 Fabric Reinforced Resin (FRR) Self-Lubricated Materials

Fabric reinforced resin self-lubricated materials shall be made from catalyzed isopthalic polyester or vinylester resin reinforced with polyester or a combination of polyester and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fabric. FRR materials shall have a minimum shear strength of 12,000 psi as tested per ASTM D 3846.

2.6.2 Sprayed Thermoset Resin Coatings

Sprayed thermoset resin coating shall be a minimum of 0.020 inch thick after final machining and shall have a dynamic coefficient of friction that is less than or equal to 0.08 dry and 0.10 water-lubricated for a bearing pressure load of 2 ksi at surface speed 90 fpm. The ultimate compressive strength of the self-lubricating material shall be a minimum of 50 ksi.

2.6.3 Plugged Bronze Self-Lubricated Materials

Plugged bronze bearings shall consist of supporting metal fabricated from ASTM B271 UNS C95500 aluminum-bronze with a symmetrical array of circular recesses machined perpendicular to the bearing surface at the bearing inside diameter sliding interface.

The pattern of circular recesses shall have a net cross-sectional area not less than 30% of the total bearing surface, and shall extend to within 0.25 inches (6.4 mm) of the chamfers at each end of the bearings. Each circular recess shall be at least 0.25-inches (6.4 mm) deep. The surface finish of the bearing shall not exceed 63 microinches (1.6 micrometers) as measured in accordance with ANSI Standard B46.1.

Each recess shall be each filled with the manufacturers recommended solid lubricant. The solid lubricant shall consist of PTFE solids and binders capable of long-term exposure to flowing water. The lubricant shall not contain graphite, molybdenum disulfide, or any other ingredients that tend to promote electrolytic or chemical action. The solid lubricant shall be integrally molded and compressed into the recesses provided for containment, with an additional coating 0.040 inches (1 mm) thick (+/-) 10% applied to 100% of the bearing inside diameter surface area. The lubricant shall be free from detrimental pits, pinholes and any other imperfections that will impair the performance or capacity of the selflubricating bearings. The lubricant shall have a Type D Durometer hardness of at least 80 when tested in accordance with ASTM D2240.

2.7 SELF LUBRICATED COMPOSITE BEARING PRE-QUALIFICATION TEST

The independent testing shall include a standardized rating system similar to CERL 99/104. The Government reserves the right to deny use of bearing materials that meet the criteria above but have suffered in-service operating problems.

b. Obtain and submit Material Certifications from the material manufacturer stating that the chemical formulations, manufacturing processes and overall structure of the materials supplied are identical to those of the bearings tested and judged to be acceptable by the Corps of Engineers under the test procedure outlined in CERL Technical Report 99/104, "Greaseless Bearings for Hydropower Application: Program Testing and Results.

2.8 SELF-LUBRICATED COMPOSITE BEARING MATERIAL BONDING ADHESIVE
