Assignment text
The main aim of the procurement of a universal friction measuring instrument for the Tribology Research Group in MTP, is to offer a flexible tool for studying tribological performance of different materials in different load areas (from mN to kN) and different environmental situations (tribocorrosion chamber, high temperatures, controlled atmosphere, etc.).
The only possible candidate in the market that can offer all the required functions is the MFT-5000 multi-functional friction measuring platform from Rtec Instruments.
Rtec Instruments has a contract with ST Instruments to sell the instruments in the Scandinavian countries. You cannot procure directly from Rtec without going through ST Instruments in Scandinavia. NTNU will, therefore, enter into a contract with ST Instruments.
