calorimetric determination of calorific value
Determination of the calorific value by complete combustion of the sample in oxygen
| investigation method | calorimetric determination of calorific value |
| Device type and equipment | IKA C2000 basic oxygen bomb calorimeter |
| functional principle | Sample is combusted in excess oxygen. The heat generated is measured to determine the calorific value. |
| Typical applications | Determining the calorific value of building materials and other materials, food, petroleum, coal and coke, as well as in waste management/recycling for biomass, etc. |
| measurement technology | adiabatic, isoperibolic, dynamic |
| Norms and standards | DIN 51900, ISO 1928; ASTM D240, ASTM D4809, ASTM D5865, ASTM D1989, ASTM D5468, ASTM E711 |
| Requirements for sample | from ~1g |
