The Electronic and Electrical Engineering Department within the University of Strathclyde require a sole supplier to supply, delivery and commission a Cryogenic Measurement Chamber to be used to characterise the performance of superconductors.

With the current project, the Applied Superconductivity Laboratory seeks to install a cryogenic measurement chamber for characteristing the performance of superconductors. The measurement chamber requires a background magnetic field of 8 T. The chamber diameter is larger than 80 mm, with a temperature down to 20 K. Current leads to the chamber required to provide larger than 600 A.
