## Notice

National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland (NMIS) require a cryogenic material tester for superconductors to perform tensile testing on superconducting cables under electrical load.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

A cryogenic material tester for superconductors is required to perform tensile testing on superconducting cables under electrical load. The testing needs to cover tensile with a temperature range of Room Temperature down to 4 Kelvin. The machine also needs to be able to perform tensile and compression testing on non superconductor samples from RT to 4 Kelvin.

Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at it's sole discretion exercise this option.
