Bomb Calorimetry

Kinetica, Inc. offers a commercial sample testing service utilizing a Parr Bomb Calorimeter. The bomb calorimetry service provides a cost-effective method for obtaining heats of combustion for liquid and solid samples. Representative tests based on ASTM standards are given the following table.

 

 

  ASTM  Procedure

                        Description
   D5468 Standard Test Method for Gross Calorific and Ash Value of Waste Materials
   D4809 Standard Test Method for Heat of Combustion of Liquid Hydrocarbon Fuels by Bomb Calorimeter (Precision Method)
   D240 Standard Test Method for Heat of Combustion of Liquid Hydrocarbon Fuels by Bomb Calorimeter
   E711-87 Standard Test Method for Gross Calorific Value of Refuse-Derived Fuel by Bomb Calorimeter

 

 

Test data are tabulated in a formal report. This includes a plot of the temperature rise for the combustion reaction. Typical  users of  the bomb calorimeter service are scientists, engineers, and production personnel that  require heat of combustion data for research, process control, and quality assurance.   Please contact Kinetica to discuss your requirements for bomb calorimeter testing and analysis.
