Parr Bomb Calorimeters
Bomb Calorimetry – a procedure which determines the
heat of combustion or calorific value of materials which are burned as fuels
– is a fundamental test of great significance to anyone concerned with:-
- Production and/or utilization of solid and liquid
fuels
- Disposal of combustible wastes and other matter
- Study of foods and feeds
- Explosives, propellants and heat powders
Parr offers a complete line of Bomb Calorimeters and
accessories for these measurements.
Parr's Bomb Calorimeters carry a proven reputation for reliability and good
service as earned during one-hundred years of continuous manufacturing
experience in this specialized field. These Bomb Calorimeters provide a wide
selection of equipment for all types of calorimetric service, whether for
routine fuel tests, for precise research measurements, for occasional calorific
tests, or for student instruction. For every material or purpose, there is a
suitable Parr calorimeter.

Introduction to Bomb Calorimetry
Uses for Parr Bomb Calorimeter extend into many
chemical, physical or physiological processes in which heat generation or
burning is an important factor. Principal bomb calorimeters applications
include calorific measurements for:
- Coal and coke, all varieties and types
- Fuel oil, both heavy and light varieties
- Gasoline, all motor fuels and aviation type jet
fuels
- Combustible wastes and refuse disposal
- Foodstuffs and supplements for human nutrition
- Forage crops and supplements for animal
nutrition
- Building materials
- Explosives and heat powders
- Rocket fuels and related propellants
- Thermodynamic studies of combustible materials
- Energy balance studies in ecology
Calorimeter Selection Criteria There are a number of
factors which should influence a user in the selection of a calorimeter. In
general, these four areas will help define the correct calorimeter choice:
- Anticipated Workload
- Required Precision
- Appropriate Standard Methods
- Available Budget

| The Model 6400
Automatic Isoperibol Calorimeter offers the world's most automated
calorimeter featuring the fixed bomb and bucket design with a high degree of
automation. This calorimeter builds on over ten years of experience gained with
its predecessor 1281 model. This model is suitable for those who require a high
precision instrument and a high anticipated workload. Recommended for use with:
Fuel / Coal / Oil purposes Propellants / Explosives |

| The Model 6200
Isoperibol Calorimeter represents the current development of the
traditional removable bomb and bucket calorimeter. This calorimeter is the
updated version of the earlier models 1266, 1261, and 1241 which have been the
world's most popular. This model is suitable for those who require a high
degree of precision and a reasonable anticipated workload but without the
automation associated with 6400 model. Recommended for use with: Fuel / Coal /
Oil purposes Propellants / Explosives Food samples for nutritional data and
small scale samples (micro conversion kit required) Ideal for universities.

The Model 6100
Compensated Jacket Calorimeter utilizes Parr's real time thermal
correction capabilities to provide an instrument for rapid testing with good
repeatability at a very attractive price. This calorimeter replaces earlier
Models 1356 and 1351 Calorimeters. This model is suitable for those who require
a good degree of precision and a reasonable anticipated workload but without
the automation associated with 6400 model. Recommended for use with: Disposal
of combustible wastes and other matter Ideal for universities and teaching.

The 1341 Plain
Jacket Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter is a very basic oxygen bomb
calorimeter which offers a lesser degree of precision than the 6000 series, but
at a very low price. It requires an increased amount of manual input from the
user. Suitable for occasional users and teaching purposes in schools and
universities as this instrument relies on the user to calculate the calorific
value from the raw data obtained.
