What’s a Cone Calorimeter?

A cone calorimeter is a device used to understand the combustion properties of materials by heating samples. It uses a conical heater and other important parts such as a sample holder, shutter mechanism, and sampling units. It is used in fire safety engineering by manufacturers and government research laboratories to measure the safety of materials. […]

What’s a calorimeter?

Calorimeters measure heat capacity and physical changes during chemical reactions. Calorie content is determined by a substance’s ability to generate heat or energy. Calorimeters identify the rate and extent of heat or energy production. Proper calorie measurement helps people plan food intake to avoid storing excess energy as fat. Different types of calorimeters measure calories […]

What’s a bomb calorimeter?

The bomb calorimeter is a laboratory device used to determine the precise heat of combustion of organic compounds by burning them in oxygen. It has various applications, including in the testing of propellants and explosives, food and metabolism studies, and the evaluation of greenhouse gases. It can also be used to determine the resonance stabilization […]
