THERMAL ANALYSIS

Oxygen Bomb Calorimeters

Bomb calorimetry determines gross calorific value from combustion in oxygen at constant volume. The laboratory workflow includes representative sampling, weighing, bomb preparation, calibration, combustion and method-specific corrections. Choose the sample preparation and reporting basis together with the instrument.

Select a bomb calorimeter for your laboratory

Define the sample and result

Specify coal, coke, biomass or another combustible material, its expected heat release, moisture condition and required reporting basis.

Match throughput to the whole workflow

Allow for weighing, loading, oxygen charging, cooling and cleaning as well as the instrument test cycle.

Specify the method and verification

Provide the test standard and edition, reference material, calibration records and acceptance criteria required by your laboratory.

Plan representative sample preparation

Match crushing, homogenizing, weighing and moisture determination to the sample method before combustion testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

A bomb calorimeter measures the heat released by combustion of a weighed sample. DSC measures heat-flow differences during a temperature program to study transitions and reactions. Select the instrument for the property you need to report.

The direct combustion result is gross calorific value. Net calorific value requires additional sample information and corrections under the selected method; specify your reporting basis when requesting a quotation.
