single lot · no lot value published

Lot #1The solenoid magnet shall generate a 3 T horizontal fieldPlanned

The solenoid magnet shall generate a 3 T horizontal field. The magnet shall be positioned on a 30 kV

platform, feature a hall probe. The field homogeneity and field axis shall be reproducible after de- and reenergization of the system, i.e. no mechanical adjustment nor magnetic field measurements are required after each cycle.

The cryostat hosting the magnet shall be positioned on the 30 kV platform. It shall be equipped with

adequate cryogenic instrumentation for its operation (e.g. temperature sensors, controllers, heaters

and liquid He level sensors). The cryostat shall comply with EN 17527 for helium cryostats. Additional information: Please note that even after the ‘official’ stated deadline on the market survey has passed, the contract remains open until the Invitation to Tender is issued. A Market Survey is merely an expression of interest and does not in any way constitute a commitment to bid.
