Announcement Number: NB685010-24-02664 (NOI)Subject: Notice of Intent to Noncompetitively Acquire Potassium Heat Pipe Dual Furnaces
The NIST Thermodynamic Metrology Group maintains and develops national standards of temperature (in the range 0.65 K to 2011 K), and supports calibration of all types of contact thermometers up to 2370 K. The Standard Platinum Resistance Thermometer Calibration Laboratory (SPRTCL) provides critical national and international stakeholders with SI traceability to the kelvin. Government, military, pharmaceutical, aerospace, and high-level industrial calibration laboratories depend on the low uncertainties and direct SI traceability provided by the SPRTCL.
As part of the realization of the ITS-90 temperature scale, the zinc (Zn) and aluminum (Al) fixed points require high-temperature heat pipe furnaces. In order for NIST to offer services for the calibration of standard platinum resistance thermometers (SPRT) at high temperatures, NIST requires high performance metrology furnaces to maintain NIST specific Zn and Al cells at their respective freezing points. Due to the age and unreliability of the current high temperature furnaces, NIST must procure additional furnaces should additional hardware failures render the current furnaces inoperable. The replacement furnaces must be easily integrated into the existing measurement service infrastructure. It is important that the furnaces properly accommodate NIST fixed-point cells to optimize the heat exchange between the furnace and the cells, allowing for the realization of the ITS-90 temperature scale with state-of-the-art accuracy.
