## Summary

Swansea University is seeking submissions for a tender regarding the supply of a high-temperature, environmental thermogravimetric furnace, which is essential for studying various material interactions and behaviours under controlled environments. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, and a contract has already been signed with Carbolite Gero Ltd on 13 May 2022. The university is located in Swansea, Wales, and operates in the goods industry sector, specifically under the classification of industrial laboratory furnaces. The opportunity was originally announced with a deadline for submissions that ended on 7 February 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in industrial or laboratory equipment, particularly those with expertise in high-temperature furnaces and analytical instruments. Companies offering innovative solutions that cater to material science research, especially within the field of metallurgy and environmental analysis, would be well-positioned to leverage this contract's requirements. Engaging with Swansea University can facilitate growth through potential future contracts and collaborations in research and development initiatives.

## Notice

A high-temperature, environmental thermogravametric furnace is required which can be used to study oxidation and material-gaseous interactions taking place in samples such as steel, metal alloys as well as materials such as coke, coal, sinter, and refractories. The materials will be exposed to controlled gaseous atmospheres, humidity and high temperatures, while simultaneously recording the mass change of the sample.The high-temperature, environmental thermogravametric furnace must be able to heat solid samples at controlled heating rates from ambient to 1400degC in controlled gas atmospheres in a semi-sealed system. The system needs to have interfaces to allow gas ingress and egress. The system must also incorporate a digital mass balance to allow for monitoring and recording of sample mass change during heating and holding under controlled atmospheres. The system should also be capable of operating with corrosive gases such as SO2 with the addition of a humid carrier gas. Interface ports through which thermocouples to directly monitor sample temperature are also required.
