The Bureau of Reclamation, Columbia Pacific Northwest, is seeking proposals for a multifunction SF6 Gas Analyzer designed to test the purity, moisture, and SO2 levels in SF6 gas used in 13.8KV circuit breakers. This analyzer must support maintenance and compliance with zero-waste capabilities while delivering accurate and consistent results. Key features include a gas recovery system for zero emissions, interchangeable couplings, and a full-color touch screen displaying vital measurements. The analyzer should have specific accuracy requirements for purity, moisture content, and SO2 detection, along with NIST certification. Additional components include a robust adapter kit and a chemical-resistant discharge recovery bag. A standard manufacturer warranty is also required. This request for proposals emphasizes environmental compliance and effective equipment maintenance in line with federal regulations, reflecting the government's commitment to sustainable practices in power management.
The Bureau of Reclamation, Columbia Pacific Northwest, seeks to acquire an SF6 Gas Analyzer to assess the purity, moisture, and presence of SO2 in SF6 gas, particularly for use on 13.8KV SF6 circuit breakers. The required analyzer must be multifunctional, accurate, and environmentally friendly, featuring zero-waste capabilities. Key specifications include the ability to measure purity from 0-100% with ±1% accuracy, moisture content from -60º to +10ºC with ±2ºC accuracy, and SO2 levels up to 500 PPM with ±2% accuracy. The system must include integrated gas recovery for emission compliance, a full-color touch screen, a hard case for transport, and the capability to operate on battery or electric power. The RFP also specifies included adapters, an analyzer discharge recovery bag, and warranties. This procurement reflects the Bureau's focus on maintaining compliance with EPA regulations while ensuring the operational efficiency of their SF6 circuit breakers.
