The document outlines specifications for procuring materials to assemble 12 Type B thermocouple total temperature probes for NASA Langley's Direct-Connect Supersonic Combustion Test Facility. Two distinct items are required: Platinum/Iridium tubing with specific compositions and dimensions. The first item involves a single tube with an outer diameter of 0.125 inches and an inner diameter of 0.105 inches, measuring 24 inches in length. The second item comprises 12 tubes, each with a 0.100-inch outer diameter, a 0.068-inch inner diameter, and a length of 0.50 inches. This procurement is essential for conducting flow surveys that measure total temperature at the facility's nozzle exit, enabling accurate testing for an upcoming model demonstration. The document serves as a technical request for proposals, emphasizing NASA's need for specialized materials to advance its combustion research efforts.
