Description

The Mississippi State University is seeking to purchase a manufacturer upgrade for their bench-top indentation plastometer, which is a novel system for measuring material properties. The upgrade includes new load cell installation, new actuators for finer control over profilometer movement, and an additional year of software license. The university claims that Plastometrex is the only source for this upgrade due to a patent granted in 2021. The estimated cost of the upgrade is $16,964.50, which is heavily discounted due to the university's academic status. • The upgrade is for a bench-top indentation plastometer produced by Plastometrex. • The plastometer is used for measuring material properties, including strength, ductility, and toughness. • The upgrade includes new load cell installation and new actuators for finer control over profilometer movement. • The estimated cost of the upgrade is $16,964.50. • The university claims that Plastometrex is the only source for this upgrade due to a patent granted in 2021.
