The solicitation number W913E519T0002 is being issued as a request for quotation (RFQ).
The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334310 - Audio and Video Equipment manufacturing.
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) has a requirement for a Photron Fastcam Mini AX200 compact high-speed camera with high light sensitivity. The camera will be used to record particulate discharging from a ¼" NPT barrel at pressures of 100-1000psi. To acquire video of the ejected particulate for analysis it has been determined that the high speed camera must meet the following specifications:
1. General. A high speed camera should be able to acquire video footage with sufficient resolution and frames per second (fps) for characteristic analysis of particles discharge form a ¼" NPT barrel with pressures of 100-1000psi.
2. Recording capabilities:
a. 1-Megapixel CMOS Image sensor: the high speed camera should be able to record at 1024 x 1024 pixels at 6,400fps.
b. Maximum Frame Rate: Up to 900,000fps (a reduction in pixel count about 6,400fps is expected and acceptable).
c. Light Sensitivity: The camera should have an ISO of at least 40,000 in monochrome. This values must be based on the ISO12232-Ssat standardized index.
d. Dynamic Range (analog to digital conversion): The camera must be 12-bit monochrome for adequate depth of view.
e. Global Electronic Shutter: The camera must have 1ms to 260ns global electronic shutter that is independent of frame rate.
f. Trigger delay: camera should have a trigger delay of 100ns resolution.
3. Internal Recording Memory: the camera should have at least 32GB storage capacity.
4. Physical characteristics
a. Sensor size: Camera must have a sensor size on the order of 20 x 20 mm.
b. Camera lens mount: Camera should have F-mount and C-mount provided.
c. Camera size: the camera should be compact and able to be used in an indoor, low static laboratory environment.
d. Camera mounting: The camera should have mounting options such as a ¼-20 camera mount.
e. Operational temperature: Camera should be able to operate between 32° and 104ºF (0-40ºC)
5. Power supply: Camera should have an AC power supply compatible with 110 VAC with a standard US plug.
Necessary accessories:
6. Camera lens: We require a camera lens that can zoom in on the particulates. Our preference is a zoom wide angle telephoto 24-85mm lens.
7. A lighting kit is required with purchase of the camera to provide sufficient lighting fast shutter speeds required for high resolution recording of ejected particulates and powders. Lighting kit must have:
a. 2 Daylight lights with attached yokes.
b. 12 lenses (2 each@ 10º, 20º, 40º, 60º, 80º, and 10º x 60º).
c. 2 locking detachable power supplies.
d. 2 battery adaptor plate (Gold mount).
e. 2 Zaila barn door sets.
8. Training: 1 day training course for up to 4 CRREL personnel consisting of camera operation, maintenance, troubleshooting and video software tutorial.
