Advanced Control and Safety FeaturesThe bomb calorimeter is equipped with a microprocessor-based digital control system and a digital LED display for clear, precise readings. It incorporates an automatic safety device, automatic water filling, and an electric ignition system for operational safety and ease. The robust stainless steel construction and nickel/quartz crucibles ensure durability and chemical compatibility, making this unit suitable for routine laboratory use.
Accurate Performance and ComplianceFactory-calibrated with a benzoic acid standard, the calorimeter maintains an impressive accuracy of 0.1% of reading, with a sensitive resolution of 0.01C or 1 calorie. The system complies with ASTM D240, IS 1350, and related standard test methods, meeting industry requirements for energy content analysis of fuels. The design supports reliable results whether in academic, industrial, or research laboratory environments.
FAQs of Bomb Calorimeter (Digital) (With Safety Device):
Q: How does the Digital Bomb Calorimeter determine the calorific value of fuels?
A: The calorimeter measures the heat produced by the complete combustion of a sample (up to 1 gram) in a controlled oxygen atmosphere at 30 atm. The sample is placed in a nickel or quartz crucible, ignited electrically, and the resulting temperature change in the surrounding water jacket is measured digitally to calculate the calorific value.
Q: What are the benefits of the built-in safety device and automatic features?
A: The integrated safety device provides enhanced protection by monitoring pressure and operation conditions, minimizing the risk of accidents. Automatic water filling and digital temperature display streamline the process, reducing user intervention and increasing operational efficiency and convenience.
Q: When should I calibrate or check the calibration of the instrument?
A: The device is factory-calibrated using a benzoic acid standard and typically requires recalibration annually or after extensive use. Follow the manufacturers guidelines for regular calibration checks to ensure continued accuracy and reliability.
Q: Where can the bomb calorimeter be installed and operated?
A: Designed as a table-top unit, it is suitable for laboratories in academic, industrial, or research settings. Ensure the space accommodates its dimensions (approx. 50 x 38 x 45 cm) and provides an accessible power supply (230V AC, 50 Hz) with adequate ventilation and safety measures for oxygen gas handling.
Q: What is included in the delivery scope of the calorimeter?
A: The package consists of the bomb calorimeter unit, pressure gauge, ignition wire, nickel or quartz crucible, digital controller, utility accessories, and a comprehensive instruction manual for setup and operation.
Q: How do I operate the calorimeter for a test?
A: Place the fuel sample in the crucible, seal it in the combustion vessel, and fill with oxygen at 30 atm. Use the digital control to initiate ignition. The device will automatically monitor the process and display results, including temperature rise and calculated calorific value.
