When removed fiom a leak source, the sensing unit recovery time (meter return to 10 percent of fll scale) shall n

12、ot exceed 3 seconds. 2.2.4 11s . The sensing unit shall be capable of detecting a 5 percent by volume concentration of any of the tracer gases when operating in an atmosphere containing a minimum of 0.4 percent by volume concentration of JP-8 fuel vapor. 2 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproductio

13、n or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-A-A-59 1 1 O 2.2.5 R anne canability . The sensing unit shall be capable of locating a leak of 1 cubic centimeter per second helium and a leak of 1 X cubic centimeters per second helium when the leaks are 4 inches apart horizontally. There shall

14、 be evidence that two seperate leaks have been located. This shall be accomplished in still air without utilizing range swiches, zero adjustment, or other controls. 2.2.6 Power suply. The power supply shall be an internal power source capable of operating the leak detector for periods of 4 hours con

15、tinuously and shall be rechargeable. Batteries shall be capable of a minimum of 500 recharging cycles om the voltage cut-off depth of discharge to a fully charged condition. The power supply shall be capable of preventing erroneous readings or indications due to low voltage. The power supply shall i

16、nclude an internal recharger capable of recharging the batteries fiom a 110-120 volt AC, 50-60 cycle outlet. A detachable 3-wire charging cord (minimum length of 6 feet) shall be included. These requirements shall be obtained when the power supply is tested in accrdance with paragraph 4.4.7. 3. pEGU

17、L ATORY REOUREh$ENTS. 3.1 The offeror/contractor is encouraged to use recovered materials to the maximum extent practicable, in accordance with paragraph 23.403 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). 4. QUAL ITk ASSURANC E PROVISIONS. 4.1 Product conformance. The products provided shall meet t

18、he salient characteristics of this commercial item description, conform to the producers own drawings, specifications, standards, and quality assurance practices, and be the same product (explosion proof) offered for sale in the commercial market. The government reserves the right to require proof o

19、f such conformance. 4.2 Jnspect ion and testing;. The inspection and testiing of the leak detector shall be performed as indicated in this section. 4.3 Test conditions. Unless otherwise specified, all tests required by this Commercial Item Description (0) shall be made at an atmosphereic pressure of

20、 28 to 32 inches of mercury, a temperature of 25h5 centigrade (C), and a relative humidity of 80 percent or less. 4.4 Test methods . All tests involving any aspect of leak detection shall be performed with the probe tip no closer than 3/8 inch to the leak. 3 Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduct
