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 and European standards are given the following table.

Reaction
to fire tests for products – Determination of the gross heat of
combustion (calorific value)
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.
