High Precision and AutomationThis calorimeter offers fully automatic operation via an advanced microcontroller, ensuring consistent and highly accurate calorific measurements. Automated cycle features, auto-ignition, and water management streamline the testing process for both solid and liquid fuels.
Comprehensive Safety FeaturesSafety has been meticulously addressed. Automatic pressure release, over-temperature and over-pressure protection, along with built-in interlocks create a secure working environment for operators, even during high-pressure combustion cycles.
Advanced Data ManagementEquipped with internal memory for up to 1000 tests and an inbuilt thermal printer, this device allows easy data logging and report generation. Connectivity is enhanced through RS-232/USB interfaces for seamless data transfer and integration with laboratory systems.
FAQs of Automatic Microcontroller Based Bomb Calorimeter:
Q: How does the automatic bomb calorimeter ensure accurate calorific measurement?
A: The calorimeter uses a microcontroller-based system to automate sample ignition, water circulation (PID control), and temperature measurement with a high resolution of 0.01C, ensuring consistent and reliable results within 0.2% accuracy for 1g samples.
Q: What safety mechanisms are included to protect users during operation?
A: Safety features include automatic pressure release, over-temperature and over-pressure interlocks, and robust construction using high-pressure tolerant stainless steel, minimizing risks during testing cycles.
Q: When should calibration of the system be performed?
A: Calibration should be conducted regularly or whenever test accuracy is in question, using certified benzoic acid as the standard, maintaining compliance with IS 1350 Part II, ASTM D240, and ISO 1928 standards.
Q: Where can the bomb calorimeter be installed and used?
A: This bench-top device is suitable for laboratory environments, industrial settings, and research institutes across India, provided the ambient conditions remain within 10C to 40C and 5%-95% RH (non-condensing).
Q: What is the typical process for conducting a calorific test?
A: A specimen (0.51g) is placed in the vessel, ignited by a nickel chromium fuse wire, and the automated system manages the combustion process, water circulation, and temperature recording, with results and test data immediately available on the display and via thermal printout.
Q: How does the data storage and reporting feature benefit the user?
A: Internal memory stores data for up to 1000 tests, enabling users to access historical results, print reports on demand, and export data through RS-232/USB, enhancing traceability and laboratory efficiency.
