Purpose
Heats of combustion, as determined in an oxygen bomb calorimeter such as the 6400
Isoperibol Calorimeter, are measured by a substitution procedure in which the heat
obtained from the sample is compared with the heat obtained from a standardizing
material. In this test, a representative sample is burned in a high-pressure oxygen
atmosphere within a metal pressure vessel or “bomb”. The energy released by the
combustion is absorbed within the calorimeter and the resulting temperature change is
recorded.
