Water Bath for Microcalorimeters

Requirements / Specification Document TITLE: Water Bath for Microcalorimeters Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group: Communications Technology Laboratory Radio Frequency Technology Division Guided Wave Electromagnetics Group (672.01) General Statement of Need: The Guided Wave Electromagnetics Group needs a temperature-controlled water bath for RF power calibrations. A water bath is an insulated tank that can be filled with water, and has the ability to regulate the temperature of the water through heaters and refrigeration. Water baths often have stirrers to improve temperature uniformity. The water bath needs to have the best temperature stability and uniformity possible. It also needs to be big enough to contain NIST’s RF power measurement equipment. Item Specifications and Quantities: Item 1: Water bath Quantity: 1 Specifications: 1.1 Temperature stability of 0.001 C, at most (when filled with water). 1.2 Temperature uniformity of 0.005 C, at most (when filled with water). 1.3 Able to achieve a stable water temperature between 10 degrees C and 30 degrees C, at least 1.4 Access opening shall be at least 6 inches by 11 inches. 1.5 Depth of the water shall be at least 16 inches. 1.6 Should have a cart with wheels. 1.7 Should have a way to communicate with a computer (GPIB, USB, or ethernet) and should respond to SCPI commands or similar. Vendor Requirements 1. Possess at time of award/contracting an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). 2. Possess at time of award/contracting a Unique Entity Identification Number (UEI) which registration is listed as “Active” on the GSA System for Award Management (SAM.gov).
