Bomb Calorimeter

Heat of combustion is determined in this test method by burning a weighed sample in an oxygen bomb calorimeter under controlled conditions. The heat of combustion is computed from temperature observations before, during and after combustion with proper allowances for thermochemical and heat transfer corrections. Either isothermal or adiabatic calorimeter jackets can be used.

The K88990 features a removable bomb and bucket design. It can achieve the highest level of precision and accuracy of any oxygen bomb calorimeter. It is a good choice for high precision quality control work and for research and development. Multiple bomb choices are also available, expanding its functionality for higher energy releases An isoperibol calorimeter is one where the surrounding jacket is maintained at a constant temperature while the temperature of the bomb and bucket rise as heat is released by the combustion. The K88900 and K88990 Calorimeters are true isoperibol calorimeters. In these implementations, a controlled-temperature jacket completely surrounds the combustion bomb and its 'bucket'. A microprocessor-based controller monitors both the temperature of the bucket and the jacket and performs the necessary heat leak corrections that result from differences in these two temperatures. These corrections are applied continuously in real-time throughout the test rather than as a final correction based on pre and post-test measurements. Removable bomb calorimeters are the more traditional design most users will recognize. In this design the oxygen bomb and bucket are removed from the calorimeter for loading the sample and filling the bucket with the carefully measured amount of water which absorbs the energy released in the combustion.
