Design and supply of flexible cryostats for the High-Luminosity Project

Item Description:

CERN intends to place a contract for the design and supply of ten flexible cryostats to be used for superconducting transfer lines for the High-Luminosity Project. Each flexible cryostat will have a length of up to 140 m and a minimum bending radius of 1.5 m. The flexible cryostats will consist of two concentric corrugated pipes (industrial pipes made from austenitic steel 316 L or equivalent).

Interested firms shall have proven competence and proven experience in the production of flexible cryostats (minimum length 50 m) with dimensions and cryogenic performance as specified by CERN. The cryostats shall have been qualified at cryogenic temperatures from 4.5 K to 10 K.
