How Calorimeters are used in Oil Analysis
How the CAL3K Calorimeter can be used in Oil Analysis
Oils are a non-volatile substance.
In general, they are not measured frequently because they are very consistent and uniform. Other oil properties are more important than the calorific value, such as taste or viscosity.
If an oil is measured in an oxygen calorimeter, then the procedure would be the same as a solid substance.
The weight of a crucible is zeroed and a small amount of approximately 0.5 gram of sample is put into the crucible, avoiding oil on the rim or outside crucible walls.
Then the DDS cotton thread is attached to the firing wire (always use genuine CAL3K consumables), the crucible is put into the holder and the oxygen vessel is closed. Depending on the CAL3K calorimeter used, it is either automatically or manual filled with oxygen and then analyzed in the CAL3K.
Five to 7 minutes later results are displayed on the LCD screen of the CAL3K.
