Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter

Our oxygen bomb calorimeter is a precise laboratory device used to determine the heat of combustion, calorific value, or energy content of a substance by burning it in a controlled environment. It consists of a strong container, often referred to as the bomb, which holds a sample of the substance to be tested along with a known quantity of oxygen. The bomb is submerged in a calorimeter filled with a measured amount of water. Ignition of the sample in the bomb causes it to combust, releasing heat, which raises the temperature of the water in the calorimeter. By measuring the temperature change and knowing the heat capacity of the calorimeter, the calorific value of the sample can be calculated. Oxygen bomb calorimeters are used in various industries, including food, energy, and environmental analysis, to assess the energy content of fuels, food products, and other materials. Their accuracy and reproducibility make them indispensable tools for research, quality control, and compliance with industry standards.
