ANIMAL FEED RESEARCH
Food calories are measured in KJ/g, the same as combustible calories. However, the process is different, although the outcome is the same: KJ/g or heat, or calories. Animal feed stock relies on the animal digestion (conversion). A calorimeter burns the lot and measures the released heat. Then a calorimeter can't be used to measure food stock?

COAL ANALYSIS
The coal industry is the traditional application of calorimeters because coal has a variety of properties, apart from being black. If the coal is used for steam generation then the calorific value is of paramount importance. The calorific value, in short the CV, is a measure of how much heat can be extracted from it.

EXPLOSIVES ANALYSIS
Only explosives which can be ignited by heat from the calorimeter's firing circuit can be tested in the oxygen calorimeter. Then very minute/small quantities are used for analysis. The calorific value of an explosive is not very high, but the burning speed is.

FUEL ANALYSIS
As a general rule, volatile fuels are measured very seldom because they are very consistent. However, if a fuel absorbs water, then frequent analysis is called for. Volatile fuel such as alcohol must be prevented from evaporating during the handling process that is from weighing to ignition of the sample.

FOOD/ NUTRITION ANALYSIS
Here is an example of food calories from www.scientificamerican.com. As the article says: "The method of using a combustion calorimeter to measure food calories is not frequently used today. However. after some considerations it can, and is, used today for checking the production quality of food." Let's look at the details.

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 of viscosity. If an oil is measured in an oxygen calorimeter, then the procedure would be the same as a solid substance.
