What is the breakdown of the weights of the composite material and steel fixture? A9. Shelf loading 100 lbs per shelf. Shelves need to be easily removable.Q10. Does the equipment need to meet AMS 2750D? If yes, please advise the Instrumentationtype.A10. Yes, provide type that meets specification.Q11. With an oven this size, how will they be loading the oven? It seems too big to reachinside and make vacuum/TC connections. A11. From door opening.Q12. Are there any other requirements? A12. No.Q13. Your specification states External vacuum connections with 3/8 male pipe thread. Atwhat vacuum range do you want to draw the internal oven to?A13. Atmosphere.Q14. Do you want a vacuum gauge?A14. No.Q15. They may just want an atmosphere oven with the ability to replace the atmospherewith nitrogen or some other inert gas?A15. Connections for vacuum bagging.Q16. Do they require a base?A16. Insulated floor.Q17. They specify minimum 6 Oven Floor. Do they mean 6 insulation floor?A17. Not sure what the question is asking.Q18. Do they want a separate oven over temperature controller?A18. NoQ19. What are the adjustable shelves mounts size and how many adjustments?A19. See response to question 8. Q20. Do we provide any shelves with the adjustable shelf mounts?A20. See response to question 8.Q21. What load capacity do the shelves have to support?A21. See response to question 9.Q22. Do they want a controlled cool down with cooling jacket outlets on each side of theoven?A22. Need to control the cool down rate.Q23. FOB: origin or destination?A.23 Destination.Q24. Any training required?A24. Please provide pricing as option. Option with estimate in cost.Q25.Any installation requirements?A25. No.Q26.The first group of questions center on the requirement for the vendor to supply avacuum pump. Is the vendor required to provide a vacuum pump? A26. No vacuum pump required.Q27. Is there a preferred brand and model number? A27. n/aQ28. If there is no preferred brand and model number is there a specification for thevacuum system?A28. n/aQ29. What pressure? A.29 n/aQ30.What pumping rate? A.30 n/aQ31. Will there be any evaporated solvents that have to be pumped through the vacuumpump? Q32A.The second group of questions concerns the electrical power. Will we beresponsible for installing the oven? A32. See response to question 25. Option with cost.Q32B.If so, is there a power source available and how close? Q32C.Is there a disconnect at the point of connection? Q32D. Is there a limit on the number of amps available? A32B, C, and D. Not applicable since NASA is doing the installation.Q33.General questions: What is the runoff requirement for the oven on our floor? What is the runoff requirement at the destination location? What access is available to bring this oven into the building? Are there any other obstructions or impediments? A33. No runoff requirement. Oven should not exceed 6 inches off floor.Q34. Can you share any information on the type and/or weight of load that will be put inthis oven? A34. See response to question 9.Q35. What heights should the shelve(s) be adjustable to?A35.
