EN ISO 1716 Bomb Calorimeter


The EN ISO 1716 Bomb Calorimeter measures the Gross Calorific Value of materials. This instrument determines the potential maximum total heat release of a product when completely burning, regardless of its end use. With this apparatus a test specimen of known mass is burned under standardised


conditions, at constant volume, in an atmosphere of oxygen, in the bomb calorimeter which is calibrated by combustion of certified benzoic acid. The calorific value determined under these conditions is calculated on the basis of the observed temperature rise while taking account of heat loss.


EN 45545­2


Although EN 45545­2 is published and operable in April 2013, CEN 256 WG1 is still working to improve the test methods used for both seating and toxic gas measurement. Please contact us for the latest changes and development of this standard.
