The combustion aid is first weighed and then added to the crucible with the sample. From the weight of the combustion aid and its When calculating the energy value in C 1 external energies are known specific gross calorific value, it is then possible to determine taken into account from kiln furniture, however, there is no the quantity of heat that is introduced thereby.

NOTE: Because the calorimeter C 1 (all internal parts) still not in a first measurement at operating temperature, the result of the first measurement can differ significantly from the subsequent measurements of a test series.
Using a scale About Settings " accessories can be selected using a scale. If this option is selected, the displayed on the scale weight is automatically transmitted to the selected weight input field. Depending on type of balance this function may need to be be activated on the scale or the Transfer button must be pressed.
Cancel a measurement An ongoing measurement can be canceld at any time. After ignition, the system waits for 1 minute with the emptying, as otherwise there is a risk that the sample is not completely burned. After confirm the cancellation, the system automatically emptied and bring it to a safe state.
System test Functional testing of the system Use for the system test one or two benzoic acid tablets. Alternatively, however, for example, an appropriate amount of sugar or an alternative fuel to be used. The system test is used to test the functionality of the overall system.
