A Bomb Calorimeter measures the amount of heat generated when matter is burnt in a sealed chamber in an atmosphere of pure Oxygen gas.

Bomb Calorimeter provides a simple inexpensive yet accurate method to determine the Heat of Combustion, Calorific Value and the Sulphur contents of solids & liquids and fuels. The outfit provided is complete for the analysis as per methods recommended by the Indian Standard Institute (IS: 1359 –1959), British Standard Institute (BS 1016: Part 5:1967) and the Institute of Petroleum (IP 12/63T). Each part of the outfit has been finished and tested according to the specifications laid down by these Institutions.
