Bomb Calorimeter Outfit provide a simple and inexpensive method for determination of heat of combustion of organic matter and the calorific value & sulphur content of solid & liquid fuel. The outfit supplied is complete for analysis as per the method recommended by British Standard Institution . All parts of the outfit have been finished and tested according to the specification laid down by Institute of petroleum and British Standard Institute. It comes with all essential accessories like, Bomb, Calorimeter vessel with bomb support, water jacket, stirrer, electronic firing unit with digital backman thermometer etc

Testing of Bomb : Each Bomb is tested before it leaves the factory in accordance with the requirement of the Institute of Petroleum and a works certificate is issued with each Bomb. This certificate gives the results of hydraulic testing under a pressure of 300 atmospheres (4400 p.s.i) maintained for a period of ten minutes without sign of leakage. The maximum deformation must not exceed the specified limits.

|
Calorimeter Vessel : The vessel is made of copper and is Chromium plated or S.S. It includes a Bomb support that ensures proper positioning of Bomb in the vessel.
|
|
Water Jacket : The outer container of Jacket is made of copper and is chromium plated both inside and outside or S.S. The is closed by an ebonite cover. A terminal block is fitted to the of the container so that connection can be made from the firing control.
|
|
Offset Stirrer : The stirring mechanism supplied gives sufficient turbulence for effective stirring whilst no heat is imparted to the calorimeter water. It consists of an impeller stirrer driven at a constant speed of approximately 800 r.p.m. The offset arrangement whereby the motor drives the impeller via a belt precludes any possibility of heat transference between motor and calorimeter Vessel Contents.

|
Electronic Firing Unit with Digital Backman Thermometer : For firing a calorimeter Bomb AC supply main (230 Volts 50 Cycles). It consists of two parts Viz Electrical Box and Electronic Box for Digital Thermometer reading. The Electrical Box is provided with socket for stirrer and terminals for the fuse wire. The unit has provision for test of firing wire resistance or open circuit. A left hand side bulb indicate the continuity while right hand side bulb indicates the open circuit (firing).

High-Precision Calorimetry for LaboratoriesThe Bomb Calorimeter Apparatus is engineered for reliable heat measurement in combusted samples, supporting both solid and liquid fuels. With stainless steel construction, a motorized stirrer for uniform temperature distribution, and compliance with leading international standards, it offers accuracy and safety for laboratories, academic institutions, and research facilities. Its versatility supports a wide range of calorimetry experiments.
Ease of Operation and Versatile ApplicationsThe apparatus comes equipped with an oxygen filling kit and sample cup, ensuring safe and consistent sample preparation. Compatible with both mercury and digital thermometers, it accommodates various user preferences. Its typical sample weight capacity up to 3 grams makes it suitable for most laboratory solid fuel testing needs, meeting requirements for educational, industrial, and research settings.
FAQs of Bomb Calorimeter Apparatus:
Q: How does the Bomb Calorimeter Apparatus work?
A: The Bomb Calorimeter Apparatus measures the heat of combustion by burning a prepared sample in pure oxygen within a sealed stainless steel bomb. The heat released from combustion raises the temperature of the surrounding water bath, and this temperature change is recorded using a thermometer. The calorific value of the sample is then calculated based on the temperature rise and known water mass.
Q: What types of samples can be analyzed using the apparatus?
A: This apparatus is designed to test the calorific value of a wide range of solid and, in some cases, liquid fuel samples, such as coal, biomass, and petrochemical products, that can be safely and completely combusted in the stainless steel sample cup.
Q: When should the oxygen filling kit be used during operation?
A: The oxygen filling kit must be used after placing your fuel sample in the bomb, before sealing it for combustion. The kit fills the bomb with oxygen at pressures up to 60 atm, providing the necessary environment for complete sample combustion and accurate heat measurement.
Q: Where is the Bomb Calorimeter Apparatus typically used?
A: It is widely used in laboratories of educational institutions, research & development departments, industrial quality control labs, and any facility requiring precise calorific value measurement of solid and liquid fuels.
Q: What process should be followed to prepare a sample for testing?
A: To prepare a sample, carefully weigh up to 3 grams of solid fuel and place it in the stainless steel sample cup. Insert the cup into the assembled bomb, fill with oxygen using the filling kit, seal the bomb, and then place it in the calorimeters water bath before initiating combustion.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this bomb calorimeter?
A: The apparatus delivers reliable, accurate, and repeatable calorific value measurements. It supports international testing standards (IS 1350, ASTM D5865, ISO 1928), ensures user safety with robust stainless steel construction, and is easy to operate, making it well-suited for both routine and advanced laboratory applications.
