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.
