About This Product
A bomb calorimeter measures the heat released when a weighed fuel sample burns completely in oxygen inside a sealed steel bomb that sits in a known mass of water. The rise in water temperature, read on the thermometer, is used to calculate the heat of combustion or calorific value of the sample. The stirrer keeps the water at a uniform temperature, and the water jacket limits heat exchange with the surroundings. The apparatus is used for solid and liquid fuels and organic matter in chemistry and fuel testing laboratories. The Bomb Calorimeter Apparatus can be supplied for export orders from Côte d'Ivoire, Mauritius, Cambodia, Togo and Somalia.
