- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division intends to purchase the following item on a Sole Source Basis from the manufacturer, TSI Inc., 500 Cardigan Road, P.O. Box 64394, St. Paul, MN 55164: Automated Filter Tester, 115 VAC, (with universal filter holder for flat-sheet media), Model No. 3160 (1 Each). The Automated Filter Tester supports the 6.2 research effort to develop toxic industrial chemically resistant particulate filter media. The TSI CertiTest Model 3160 Automated Filter Tester (AFT) measures filter efficiency, as a function of particle size (fractional efficiency) in the size range of the filter's most penetrating particle size (MPPS). A filter's MPPS is the particle size where a filter has its lowest efficiency (highest penetration). Typical MPPS values are from 0.5 to 0.3 micrometers. There are no other manufacturers of stand-alone automated filter te ster systems that measure filter efficiency as a function of particle size of air filters other than TSI Inc. Other manufacturers of automated filter testing systems use photometers or optical particle counters. Those systems either do not give any information about the particle size dependence on filter efficiency or do not go down to the size range where filters are the least efficient. Delivery will be FOB Destination. If delivery is other than FOB Destination, then state delivery cost in offer. Standard Commercial Warranty is Required. Offerer shall include a description of the Commercial Warranty with their offer.
