SCOPE. This CID covers one type of tire and tube testing tank t
2、o be used for detecting and locatingair leaks in inner tubes and mounted tubeless tires; and for testing for air leaks in valve stems and valvecovers.2. CLASSIFICATION. The tanks shall be available in the following sizes:a. Size 1 - this testing tank shall have the capacity to completely submerge in
3、flated innertubes and mounted tubeless tires up to, and including, 12.00 inch thread width by 24 inchwheel size. The tank shall have a minimum inside diameter of fifty-two (52) inches and aminimum depth of seventeen and one-half (17 ) inches.b. Size 2 - this testing tank shall have the capacity to c
4、ompletely submerge inflated innertubes and mounted tubeless tires up to, and including, 18.00 inch thread width by 24 inchwheel size. The tank shall have a minimum inside diameter of seventy-two (72) inchesand a minimum depth of thirty (30) inches.3. SALIENT CHARACTERISTICS.3.1 Design and Fabricatio
5、n. The tank shall be fabricated from a material thick enough to preclude anydeformation caused by the liquid and loads imposed during testing, and may be reinforced throughout withcorrosion resistant reinforcing. The tank shall be leak-proof when filled to the top with liquid. A drain plugor valve s
6、hall be provided to allow the tank to completely drain while the tank is in an installed position.The tank shall be capable of supporting the tube-submerging mechanism.3.2 Tube-Submerging Unit. The tank shall have a tube-submerging unit (spider) which is attached to thetank. The spider shall allow f
7、or the visual inspection of the submerged tire or tube and may be operatedby an air cylinder unit, which is used to raise and lower the spider. The spider shall be attached to the airBeneficial comments, recommendations, additions, deletions, clarifications, etc., and any otherdata which may improve

9、ation of the submerged tire or tube. The distance (clearance)between the spider in the raised position and the top of the tank shall be large enough to permitunrestricted loading of the specified inflated tire and inner tube sizes. The spider shall be designed so thatit will not damage the tires or
10、tubes being tested.3.3 Air Cylinder Unit. The air cylinder unit shall operate within an air line pressure ranging from 100pounds per square inch gage (psig) to 175 psig. The cylinder shall be capable of withstanding an air linepressure of 200 psig for a period of two (2) minutes without damage or le
11、akage. The cylinder may besingle or double acting. If single acting, the cylinder shall be provided with two coil extension springs orother device to act as retrievers, and shall be controlled by a two-way air valve, or an intake valve and anexhaust valve, or other mechanism. If a double acting cyli
12、nder is used, a three-way valve or othermechanism shall be provided to control the cylinder, to provide for extension, retraction, or hold thecylinder in an intermediate position.3.3.1 Air Valve. The valve operating mechanism shall be mounted in an accessible position for handoperation without the u
13、se of tools and shall control the airflow in the cylinder. The air valve and cylinderunit shall be capable holding the spider and the tire or tube under test at any required depth, with amaximum allowable rise of one-half (1/2) inch during a twenty (20) minute period.3.4 Fastening Devices. Screws, p
14、ins, bolts, and similar parts shall be installed with means for adjustmentand for preventing loss of tightness. The methods for adjustment and for preventing loss of tightness shallbe in accordance with accepted engineering standards and practices.3.5 Accessory Support Stand. When specified, the siz
15、e 1 tank shall be provided with a support stand.The stand may be either a structural part of the tank or a separate holding, support, stand. The standshall be constructed of not less than four (4) legs, or other adequate means, to maintain the tank in astable position during testing operations. The
16、stand shall position the tank at a height of thirty-six (36),+ six (6), inches when measured from the tank top to the floor level. The stand shall be capable ofsupporting the fully loaded tank without deformation or damage.3.6 Toxic Chemicals/Hazardous Substances. The use of toxic chemicals, hazardo
17、us substances, orozone depleting chemicals (ODC) will be avoided, when feasible.4. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.4.1 Recycled/Recovered Materials. The offerer/contractor is encouraged to use recovered materials tothe maximum extent practical, in accordance with paragraph 23.403 of the Federal Acquisition
18、Regulation(FAR).5. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS.5.1 Product Conformance.
