The determination speed was improved due to better initial firing conditions and vessel material technology.
The actual time from closing to opening the lid depends on the calorimeter.
The time can be set in the CAL3K-A(AP), all other units operate on a fixed initial and main period.
If determination speed is required then it is best to consult the factory.
In a slave driving experiment 14 determinations per hour were achieved with a CAL3K-A, three vessels and two coolers.
HOW TO COOL THE CAL3K OXYGEN BOMB VESSEL
After running a sample, once the determination is complete, the CAL3K Oxygen Bomb Vessel can be removed from the calorimeter. Before de-filling or preparing the bomb for the next firing it needs to be cooled – this is done using the CAL3K …
Learn MoreATTACHING THE FIRING COTTON TO THE WIRE
In this tutorial we will show you the correct way to attach the firing cotton to the firing wire when preparing a sample for firing in any of our CAL3K Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter Systems. The exercise is fairly simple and can be completed with or without the stainless steel tweezers. We prefer to use the tweezers as it doesn't affect the firing cotton and sample and is easier to handle the firing cotton with.
