Summary

Machine-generated summary

A spectropyrometer is being procured for the HHFTVF high heat flux test facility. The instrument measures the surface temperature of metallic samples, typically heated by induction in a vacuum vessel, through a viewing window without requiring any emissivity data from the user, unlike standard thermography. The HIVE facility already uses a similar device. Full technical requirements are set out in attached documents available for download. Interested suppliers should consult the attached documents for the detailed list of requirements and further details on how to participate.

Description

The HIVE facility uses a unique spectropyrometer, that measures surface temperature without emissivity data and includes uncertainty. We seek another for the HHFTVF facility. This equipment is to be used on a high heat flux test facility which primarily, though not exclusively, uses induction heating to heat metallic samples in a vacuum. The equipment is required to provide a non-contact temperature measurement through a window of the vacuum vessel. The key point is that for the surface of interest, the emissivity, emissivity profile with temperature/wavelength/surface finish etc. is unknown and/or spatio-temporally changing. The equipment needs to measure surface temperature without the emissivity being inputted by the user. We need this as typical non-contact temperature (thermography) measurements require accurate knowledge of the emissivity of a surface to provide an accurate temperature measurement, but we do not have this information for the surfaces of interest. A detailed list of requirements can be seen in the attached documents, which can be downloaded for viewing.
