17 -- 17- - PORTABLE HYDRAULIC TEST STANDS

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division in Lakehurst, NJ is seeking to procure three Portable Hydraulic Test Stands designed to test and service aircraft hydraulic systems and components. These test stands must be capable of delivering filtered hydraulic fluid at pressures up to 5000 PSI, operating either pneumatically or manually. The specified model, A/M27T-6 with part number 1415AS100-1, features a 5-gallon internal reservoir equipped with dual-stage filtration—3-micron filtration at high pressure and 10-micron at low pressure. It includes an air-driven reciprocating axial pistol pump with variable output pressure from 0 to 5000 PSI and a flow rate of approximately 75 cubic inches per minute at 4000 PSI given a 90 PSI air supply. Additionally, the test stands must have a two-stage hand pump with a capacity of 0.19 cubic inches per stroke capable of reaching up to 50 PSI. Both the pneumatic and manual pumps are fitted with adjustable relief valves ranging from 200 to 5000 PSI for safety and operational control. The contract is designated as a total small business set-aside under the SBA guidelines and was publicly posted in April 2002 by the Department of Defense through the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division office located at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ.
