soperibol Calorimetry was rst introduced Calorimeter for routine calorimetric testing by Parr in 1980. Since then Time this method has essentially displaced adiabatic calorimetry as the principal operating mode for routine calorimetric testing. An isoperibol calorimeter is one where the surrounding jacket is maintained at a constant temperature while the

temperature of the bomb and bucket rise as heat is released by the combustion. In this implementation, a water jacket, maintained at a xed temperature, completely surrounds the combustion bomb and its bucket. A microprocessorbased controller monitors both the temperature of the bucket and the jacket and performs the necessary heat corrections that result from differences in these two temperatures. These corrections are applied continuously rather than as a nal correction based on pre and post test measurements.

With all the changes that have taken place in our rst century of designing, building and servicing calorimeters, one thing has not changed our commitment to build the best practical calorimeters is as strong today as it was when our company was founded for that same purpose.

Parr Fixed Bomb & Bucket Technology

Parr Removable Bomb & Bucket Technology

Oxygen Filling The oxygen supply is connected to the xed bomb so that the oxygen charge is automatically added to the bomb before the preperiod equilibrium period. Exhausting the Bomb At the end of the test the gasses in the bomb are automatically released while the calorimeter is being returned to its starting temperature. Draining the Bucket The hot water in the bucket is automatically drained from the bucket at the conclusion of the test and replaced with cooling water to bring the bomb and bucket rapidly back down to the starting temperature for the next test. Washing the Bomb At the conclusion of the test the inside of the bomb is washed to remove the products of combustion from the bomb. These bomb washings can be collected if tests will be run for sulfur, chlorine or other elements released from the organic matrix during combustion. The result of the automation of the above steps plus the automation of the calorimetric measurement itself will save approximately six minutes of operator time per tests when compared to any removable bomb calorimeter. emovable bomb calorimeters are the more traditional design most users recognize. In this design the oxygen bomb and bucket are removed from the calorimeter for loading the sample and lling the bucket with the carefully measured amount of water which absorbs the energy released in the combustion.

arr Model 6300 Calorimeters utilize a design where the bomb and bucket are not removed from the calorimeter during routine operations. This concept has made it possible to provide new levels of automation of not just the data collection and reporting, but of the entire calorimetric determination.

Bomb Closure The 6300 Calorimeter utilizes a patented closure design which seals and locks the head into the cylinder with simple 23 twist. Measuring and Filling the Calorimeter Bucket The bomb in the 6300 Calorimeter is surrounded by a bucket designed to provide smooth circulation and uniform volumetric lling. The bomb head closure action also seals the bucket at the same time the bomb is closed. The unique design of this bomb-jacket combination permits rapid and automatic volumetric lling of the bucket water for each test.

1136 Oxygen Combustion Bomb

Longer Bomb Life

ne of the not so obvious advantages of the xed bomb designs is that the bomb is always washed as soon as the nal temperature rise can be extrapolated. Generally this is within 4-5 minutes of the ring of the bomb. This minimizes the time any acids produced by the combustion can attack the inner surfaces of the bomb. We are seeing much better service life for the 1136 Bombs used in corrosive service because of this.

Recommended Applications While these bombs do not feature the automatic bomb and bucket handling features of the xed bomb design calorimeters, the removable bomb calorimeter will remain the calorimeter of choice for users with one or more of the following applications or preferences: Low to medium testing loads which will not justify the higher cost of more automated systems. Student instruction applications with an emphasis on the basic principals of calorimetry. Applications which require unusually high pressures, platinum lining or one of the other special purpose oxygen bombs.

Combustions which produce unusual amounts of ash or other corrosive residues that would damage the automatic discharge system. Users who chose not to perform the additional maintenance that the fully automatic instruments require. Users who presently have a number of 1108 oxygen bombs and other accessories in their laboratories.

Materials of Construction

n 1911 Professor S.W. Parr developed his Alloy Illium G to resist the hot mixtures of sulfuric and nitric acids produced in the oxygen combustion of coal. This eliminated the need for gold or platinum liners for the bombs and made it practical to do oxygen bomb calorimetry as a routine laboratory test. While we no longer use Illium G, we use the most corrosion resistant alloys we can nd. For routine combustions we build our bombs of Carpenter 20 Cb3 Stainless Steel which is richer in chromium and contains three times as much nickel as Series 300 Stainless Steels. For high chloride service we use Alloy G-30 which adds cobalt and molybdenum to resist the corrosive effect of the chloride ion.

Isoperibol Calorimetry An isoperibol calorimeter is one where the surrounding jacket is maintained at a constant temperature while the temperature of the bomb and bucket rise as heat is released by the combustion. The Model 6300 and 6200 Calorimeters are true isoperibol calorimeters. In these implementations, a water jacket, maintained at a xed temperature, completely surrounds the combustion bomb and its bucket. A microprocessor-based controller monitors both the temperature of the bucket and the jacket and performs the necessary heat leak corrections that result from differences in these two temperatures. These corrections are applied continuously throughout a test rather than as a nal correction based on pre and post test measurements.

Continuously Compensated Isoperibol Calorimetry The Parr 6100 Calorimeter takes advantage of the real time, continuously corrected method developed by Parr in its implementation of the isoperibol method. No attempt is made in the Model 6100 Calorimeter to establish the constant jacket temperature required for isoperibol calorimetry. Instead, the temperature of the jacket is continuously monitored and real time heat leak corrections are applied based upon the temperature difference between the bucket and the actual temperature of the jacket. While this method is not truly an isoperibol method, its real time correction procedure achieves the same purpose with nearly equal results. What it can not do is match the temperature uniformity of a circulating water jacket.

Compensated Isoperibol Calorimetry The Parr 6772 Precision Thermometer, serving as a controller for the 1341 or 6725 Calorimeters, uses yet another approach to emulate the isoperibol calorimetric method. In these calorimeter systems, the heat leak is precisely measured during the calorimetric pre-period. This evaluation results in an estimate of the effective, average temperature of the calorimeter surroundings. This temperature value is then used throughout the test interval to provide the calorimeter heat leak correction. While not as robust as either of the other two methods outlined above, it harnesses the computing power of the controller, with no additional hardware costs, to provide heat leak correction capability that is almost identical to the approach used when nonelectronic thermometry and manual calorimetric techniques are employed.

Parr Fixed Bomb and Bucket Technology The Model 6300 Calorimeter utilizes the proven xed bomb and bucket technology utilized in Parr 1271 and 1281 Calorimeters for more than 10 years. This design concept has made it possible to offer unique levels of automation of the entire calorimetric determination not just the data collection and reporting steps. Fixed Bombs Instead of removing the entire combustion bomb, opening it, washing it, recharging it and reinstalling it in the calorimeter, the operator simply removes the head of the vessel replaces the fuel capsule with the next sample and fuse and reinserts it in the calorimeter. A patented closure design which seals and locks the head in place with a simple 1/16 turn makes the removal and installation of the head quick and easy. Fixed Bucket Conventional calorimetric terminology refers to the vessel which contains the bomb and a known amount of water in the bucket. In the 6300 Calorimeter, a better description might be a water jacket for the bomb. This inner jacket has been designed to provide smooth circulation over the surfaces of the vessel and highly repeatable volumetric lling. The bomb head closure also seals this water jacket at the same time the bomb is closed. This unique design

minimizes the amount of water required as well as permitting rapid, automatic and repeatable bucket lling for each test. The water heated by the combustion is automatically drained from the bucket at the conclusion of the test and replaced with cooling water to bring the bomb and bucket rapidly back down to the starting temperature for the next test. Oxygen Charging and Release The oxygen supply is connected to the xed bomb and oxygen charging to the desired level is automatically performed at the beginning of each test. At the end of the test the gases in the bomb are automatically released while the calorimeter is being returned to its starting temperature. Bomb Washing At the conclusion of the test the inside surface of the bomb is washed to remove the products of the combustion from the bomb. The automation of the bomb washing step eliminates one of the most tedious and time consuming manual operations required with removable bomb calorimeters. The bomb washings can be collected if they are to be used for tests to determine sulfur, chlorine, or other elements released from the organic matrix during the combustion. Besides the elimination of the drudgery of manually washing the bomb, a not so obvious advantage of the xed bomb

he 6300 Calorimeter has been designed to provide the user with:

A highly automatic calorimeter to free the user from the manual operations required for traditional calorimeters and minimize operator time required per test. A high speed calorimeter capable of performing up to 8 tests in an hour. A high precision calorimeter capable of exceeding the repeatability and reproducibility requirements of all international standard test methods.

A full featured calorimeter capable of stand alone operation and highly adaptable to the users test methods. A compact calorimeter requiring a minimum of laboratory bench space. An intuitive graphical user interface for ease of operation and training. A calorimeter capable of communicating with a wide variety of printers, analytical balances, and laboratory computers. A calorimeter that is cost effective from both a capital and operating view point.

design is that the bomb is always washed as soon as the nal temperature can be determined. Generally, this is within 4-5 minutes of the time the bomb is red. This holds toan absolute minimum the time any acids produced by the combustion can attach to the inner surfaces of the bomb. We have observed much better service life of these bombs in corrosive service when compared with removable bombs.

The 6200 Isoperibol Calorimeter

An important design concept of the 6300 Calorimeter is to free it from the requirement to use a number of accessories that add signicantly to the cost of the instrument. Water Supply The 6300 Calorimeter has been designed to operate with tap water as its principal source of water for lling both the bucket and the outer jacket. This water also serves as the source of cooling for the bomb and bucket between tests. Users who have poor quality tap water or who do not have access to running water and a drain can add a Model 1564 or 6520 Water Recirculating System and operate the calorimeter on a closed loop with de-ionized water. This installation requires that the Water Recirculating System be installed below the 6300 Calorimeter so that the water from the calorimeter can drain by gravity. All closed loop systems require a water cooler to remove the heat generated by the combustion from the system. Deionized or distilled water is highly recommended for the bomb wash water supply. Even users who will not recover the bomb washings for further analysis will want to avoid the problems that can result from the build up of lime deposits in the oxygen combustion bomb and its valves.

Dual Bomb and Bucket Operation Users with large testing requirements can equip their 6200 calorimeters with two bombs and two buckets so that one set can be reloaded while the current test is underway in the calorimeter. True Isoperibol Operation As with the Model 6300 calorimeter, all of the surfaces which surround the inner chamber of the 6200 calorimeter are controlled to a constant temperature from a circulating water bath. This enables the control section of the calorimeter to both determine the heat leak corrections and apply them in real time. This combination makes it possible to operate the calorimeter in Parrs dynamic mode for rapid testing without a detectable difference in the precision of the test.
6200 Isoperibol Calorimeter with 1108 Oxygen Bomb, an A391DD Oval Bucket, and 1757 Printer.

Open or Closed Loop Operation The 6200 calorimeter can be operated on an open system where tap water is used both to cool the jacket and to ll the bucket. This minimizes the need for a separate water handling system and cooler and will also minimize the capital investment. Users with signicant testing loads or poor quality tap water will want to add a Model 1564 or 6520 Water Handling System (see page 23) and operate with deionized, temperature controlled, and pre-measured water. Oxygen Filling System To speed and simplify the bomb lling connection, the 6200 Calorimeter has a Semiautomatic system for charging the bomb with oxygen. Oxygen from a 1A commercial cylinder is connected to a micro-processor controlled solenoid installed in the calorimeter.

To ll the bomb, the operator simply slips the lling hose connector onto the bomb inlet valve and pushes a key to start the lling sequence. Filling then proceeds automatically at a controlled rate to a pre-set pressure. Built-in safety provisions will prevent an accidental overcharge, and an error message will be shown if the desired pressure is not attained. Compact Design The 6200 calorimeter is housed in a compact case 22.5 inches wide, 15.5 inches deep and 17.0 inches high (57x40x43 cm). The units require a 115 or 230 volt electrical supply, tap water and a drain (or a water recirculationg system) and a supply of oxygen.

Removable Bomb The Model 6200 calorimeter utilizes the Parr 1108 oxygen bomb. More than 20,000 of these reliable oxygen combustion bombs have been placed in service on a world wide basis. This bomb features an automatic inlet check valve and an adjustable needle valve for controlled release of residual gasses following combustion. They are intended for samples ranging from 0.6 to 1.2 grams with a maximum energy release of 8000 calories per charge.

The 1108 oxygen bomb is made of a high-strength, highnickel stainless steel designed to resist the corrosive acids produced in routine fuel testing. An alternative 1108CL bomb is available, constructed of an alloy containing added cobalt and molybdenum to resist the corrosive conditions produced when burning samples containing chlorinated compounds.

Removable Bucket The A391DD removable bucket has been designed to hold the bomb, stirrer and thermistor with a minimum volume of water and to provide an effective circulating system which will bring the calorimeter to rapid thermal equilibrium both before and after ring.

A Moderately Priced, Micro-Processor Controlled Oxygen Bomb Calorimeter Without Jacket Temperature Control Outwardly, the 6100 Calorimeter appears to be the same as the 6200 Isoperibol Calorimeter, since both calorimeters are built into the same housing with the same series 6000 controller. But, there is one important difference: the 6100 Calorimeter does not have a temperature controlled jacketing system as required for isoperibol calorimetry. The 6100 Calorimeter is intended for the user who wants a modern calorimeter with the convenient automatic features provided in the 6200 Calorimeter and whose precision requirements can be met with a static system without isoperibol control. Or, for users whose work load is small or intermittent, making it preferable to purchase a less expensive model. To meet these criteria, the temperature controlled water jacket and its accessories have been removed from the 6200 Calorimeter and replaced in the 6100 with an insulating jacket around the bucket chamber, comparable to the arrangement used in the 1341 Plain Calorimeter. This eliminates all water and water connections, resulting in a signicant saving in cost. And, with no permanent external connections (except a connection to an oxygen tank). The 6100 Calorimeter can be set up and made ready to operate in a few minutes, or it can be set aside when not in use.

Good Repeatability To obtain the best precision with an uncontrolled jacket, the 6100 Calorimeter has a temperature monitoring capability built into the jacket. This allows the calorimeter to measure the actual jacket temperature and apply the appropriate heat leak corrections in real time. While not equal to a controlled jacket, the 6100 method offers a significant improvement over the traditional static jacket and makes it possible to obtain reasonable precision without the long preand post-periods normally required for static jacket calorimetry. It also makes it possible to use the Parr Dynamic Method for rapid testing. As with all static jacket calorimeters, best results will be obtained when the calorimeter is operated in a location where it is not subject to drafts

or uctuating air temperature, preferable in a temperaturecontrolled room. It may require more frequent standardization if the ambient temperature changes during the day or from day to day. With these constrictions under control, standard deviations in a series or tests with a uniform sample, such as benzoic acid, should not exceed 0.2 percent. The precision obtainable will be more than adequate for most waste screening and teaching applications. Compact Design The 6100 calorimeter is housed in a compact case 22.5 inches wide, 15.5 inches deep and 17.0 inches high (57x40x43 cm). The units require a 115 or 230 volt electrical supply and a supply of oxygen.

heat measurement techniques in a student laboratory since it provides all of the instrumentation needed for such tests, but with each element in the system reduced to fundamental forms. Although commonly called a plain calorimeter because of its simple design, technically this is a static jacket instrument which operates at or near room temperature with no provision for controlling the jacket temperature. Compensation for any heat loss (or gain) during a test is made by applying a correction computed from heat leak measurements taken before and after each test. As a general rule, about 10 or 12 tests can be completed in an 8-hour day, whereas up to 75 tests can be run in the same period in a Parr automatic model. Good Repeatability Good repeatability can be obtained with the 1341 Calorimeter provided that the temperature rise and heat leak corrections are measured and applied carefully. Using the 19-35 C expansion thermometer supplied with the instrument, standard deviations in a series of tests with a uniform sample such as benzoic acid should not exceed 0.3%. Quality Construction There has been no compromise with quality in selecting components for the moderately priced, 1341 Calorimeter. It is equipped with the same 1108 Oxygen Bomb furnished with the 6200 Isoperibol Calorimeter. An alternate 1108CL bomb with superior resistance to chlorine and halogen acids is available for tests involving waste materials and chlorinated solvents. The molded double wall jacket provides a simple yet effective insulating system that restricts heat ow between the calorimeter and its surroundings. Temperature readings are taken with a 1604 Calorimetric Thermometer with a range from 19-35 C in .02 subdivisions. Readings can be estimated to the nearest .002 using the clip-on reading lens furnished with the instrument.

Water Handling Accessories Parr Series 6000 Calorimeters have been designed to use tap water for their source of bucket and cooling water. For minimum performance requirements this water should be available at temperatures below 25 C and should be free of minerals which can build up deposits in the calorimeter. Parr offers a choice of four water handling accessories, two for the 6300 Calorimeter and two for 6200 and 6100 Calorimeters. These systems are designed to meet the unique requirements of each calorimeter and each laboratory installation. Water Recirculating Systems for the 6300 Calorimeter The 1564 and 6520 water Handling systems are offered for users who wish to operate their 6300 Calorimeters on a closed loop water system. These systems must be located below the 6300 Calorimeter because the calorimeter drains by gravity into the receiver of these systems. A pump recirculates the water back to the calorimeter.

Any closed loop water system must include a water cooler to remove heat generated by the combustions in the bomb. The 1564 Water Recirculating System is designed to work with a separate water cooler such as the Parr 1551 and 1552 coolers. The 6520 Water Handling System includes a thermoelectric cooler and does not require a separate cooler. Water Handling Systems for the 6200 and 6100 Calorimeter The 1563 and 6510 Water Handling Systems are offered for users who wish to operate their 6200 and 6100 Calorimeters on a closed loop system. These systems incorporate a precision pipette for measuring and delivering the water for the calorimeter bucket at the same xed temperature for each test. It also provides cooling water to the jacket of the 6200 Calorimeter. The 1563 and 6510 Water Handling Systems operate on the bench top. The 1563 Water Handling System is designed to work with a separate water cooler such as the Parr 1551 or 1552 coolers.

The 6510 Water Handling System includes a thermo electric cooler and does not require a separate cooler.

An initial purchase can be limited to the basic calorimeter with or without additional accessories, while still retaining the ability to expand the system in the future if the work load should change. Expandable Calorimeter Systems To assist in the selection of calorimetric apparatus from an array of separate items, Parr offers the 6300, 6200 & 6100 Calorimeters as a System which provides all of the equipment needed for high speed caloric testing (except an analytical balance, oxygen tank and common laboratory chemicals). For many users who are testing only a few samples per day, a Calorimeter with a Printer may be adequate. But by adding a water supply system, an extra oxygen bomb and bucket and a water cooler (Expanded System) it is possible to handle many more tests with minimal operator effort and with a potential for improved precision as well. Also, the added water handling system and water cooler will permit closed loop operation. The 6200 and 6100 expanded calorimeter system has an extra 1108 bomb and A391DD bucket to allow the next sample to be prepared in advance. The 6300 expanded system includes an extra A895DD bomb head for this same purpose.

Calorimeter Accessories Oxygen Combustion Bombs

The 1108 Oxygen Bomb The 1108 Bomb is the standard, 342mL, general purpose bomb used in all Parr 6200, 6100, and 1341 Calorimeters, and in the 1901 Bomb Combustion Apparatus. It will safely burn samples liberating up to a maximum of 8000 calories per charge, using oxygen charging pressures up to 40 atm. The standard 1108 Bomb is made of a special niobium stabilized stainless steel selected for its resistance to the mixed nitric and sulfuric acids produced in a bomb combustion. This superior alloy is suitable for most combustion tests, yet nei1108 - 1108CL Oxygen Combustion Bomb ther it nor any other stainless steel will resist the corrosive atmosphere produced when burning samples containing halogen compounds. The 1136 Oxygen Bomb The 1136 Oxygen Bomb is a custom design bomb used in the 6300 calorimeter as well as the earlier 1281 Calorimeter. It will safely burn samples liberating up to a maximum of 8000 calories per charge using oxygen charging pressures up to 40 atm. It features the twist-lock closure and the external conguration used in the xed bomb calorimeters. The standard 1136 bomb is made of alloy 20 Cb3 stainless steel to resist the mixed nitric and sulfuric acids produced in routine fuel testing.
1136-1136CL Oxygen Combustion Bomb

Special Purpose Bombs Parr offers several special purpose oxygen bombs for calorimetry and analytical applications in sizes from 22 to 2000mL. Three of the most commonly used special bombs for calorimeters are listed here. 1104 High Strength Bomb. This is a 240mL, extra heavy bomb for combustion tests with samples that burn with extreme violence. It will handle samples that liberate up to 12,000 calories per charge, using oxygen charging pressures up to 45 atm. This bomb should be used in place of the standard bomb when testing explosives, gun powders and fast-burning propellants, or when working with materials whose combustion characteristics are unknown or unpredictable.

The 1104 High Pressure Oxygen Bomb can also be equipped with a dynamic pressure recording system to record the change in pressure that accompanies the rapid decomposition of materials used as propellants or explosives.

1107 Semimicro Oxygen Bomb. This is a 22mL bomb designed for use in the 6725 semimicro calorimeter and earlier series 1425 calorimeters. It is intended for samples ranging from 25 to 200 milligrams, liberating up to 1200 calories. It is also used for heat powders that are self oxidizing and release less than 2400 calories per charge. 1107 Semimicro Oxygen
Combustion Bomb

The 1108CL ChlorineResistant Bomb Parr now offers a chlorineresistant, 1108CL Bomb, which is the same as the standard 1108 model, but with a head and cylinder made of an alloy with superior corrosion resistance to the free chlorine and halogen acids released when burning chlorinated samples. Users who intend to test waste materials and combustible halogen solvents are urged to select the 1108CL Bomb instead of 1108 for its longer service life under extremely corrosive conditions.

1136CL Oxygen Combustion Bombs Parr offers a bomb made of chlorine resistant material of the xed head calorimeters.

ore than 20 years ago Parr developed and equipped its calorimeters with a local area network called the Smart Link. This network has served our clients well and has given them a way to link multiple calorimeters, analytical balances, proximate analyzers, and computers into a single network. With the Series 6000 Calorimeters we are retiring the old and limited Smart Link network in favor of Ethernet (IEEE 802.3). Ethernet has become the standard for high speed data transfers. While we feel nostalgic for the Smart Link which was revolutionary when it was introduced, we are pleased to be able to offer the Ethernet as a modern high speed, reliable, industry standard for linking instruments into data transfer networks.

Ethernet Communications Connections of Series 6000 Calorimeters or personal computers and networks are made through the Ethernet Port. Laboratories that already have Ethernet network installed can simply connect their calorimeters to their network to transfer results into their computers. Laboratories that do not already have Ethernet network will need to obtain an Ethernet hub to establish their network.
