Lots

Lot Description: Queen’s University Belfast require a Contract for the Supply, Delivery, Installation and ongoing Maintenance of a Thermal analysis suite of equipment and consumables to include: • A Modulated Heat Flux Differential Scanning Calorimeter to measure thermal events such as the glass transition, melting, crystallization, specific heat capacity, cure reactions, onset of oxidation, and heats of transitions (enthalpy) of polymer and composite materials.• A Thermogravimetric Analyser to measure weight change (loss or gain) and the rate of weight change as a function of temperature, time, and atmosphere of polymer and composite materials.• A Dynamic Mechanical Analyser to measure viscoelastic properties as a function of temperature, time, and atmosphere of polymer and composite materials to include but not limited to the following outputs: storage/loss/relaxation moduli, tan delta, complex/dynamic viscosity of polymer and composite materials, and.• A Thermomechanical Analyser to measure material dimensional changes as a function of force, atmosphere, time and temperature of polymer and composite materials. To include but not limited to the following outputs: coefficient of linear thermal expansion, shrinkage, mechanical softening, glass transition temperature and heat deflection temperature of polymer and composite materials.Queen’s require all four pieces within the equipment suite supplied to have the same original equipment manufacturer to ensure compatibility and interoperability across the suite.
