Thermal Expansion Characteristics of Industrial Batteries with Fire Retardant Material

Project Description

Company needs Contract Laboratory for thermal testing job on containers for industrial batteries with fire retardant material that has very high thermal expansion characteristics. We are looking to accurately map out the thermal expansion characteristics of these containers, specifically how temperature effects the height of the container.
The test set up will be similar to what is shown in the attached photo but in a thermal chamber. There needs to be a surface plate at the bottom, a height gauge with an indicator attached. The product will have a 35-40lbs weight placed on the bottom to make sure it's flat to the surface plate. The temp will be lowered to 60°F, allowed to equalize for at least 4 hours, then the height measurement will be taken. Then the temperature will be increased by 10°F, allowed to equalize for at least two hours and the height measured again. I've like data points up to 120°F on three different height jars. The shortest jar will be 12.5 tall and the tallest will be 28.5 high. Temperature accuracy needs to be ±1°F and height accuracy needs to be ±0.0005. Humidity is not a factor but should be recorded.

And How much will this cost? What would be the turnaround time? Thanks!
