The following question was received before the deadline.
Question 1- Could you please confirm the amount of residual oxygen this furnace to achieve?
Answer 1- There is no explicit requirement for residual oxygen content for this furnace. However, the inert gas supply, shell, door seals, etc. should be designed to achieve an inert gas flow/leak rate of 1L/min to 10L/min at an operating pressure of approximately 5psi to 15 psi gauge.
Note that this equipment is not a vacuum furnace. The furnace just needs to be able to supply and maintain a positive gas flow rate (quantified above). Requirements for the construction (shell, seals, etc.) are defined within the minimum specifications.
Minimum specifications are listed in the solicitation.
See solicitation N0016724Q0127. Please complete and return solicitation document along with quote.
