  • Page 5: Safety Precautions

    Safety precautions Calorimeter system C 200 may only be used to determine the calorific value of solid and fluid materials. Only the appropriate original IKA ® decomposition vessels may be used for this purpose. For detailed information, please see the operating instructions for the decomposition vessels.
  • Page 6 Individual use is understood here to include a series of experiments performed under roughly the same conditions in terms of pressure and temperature. Experiment autocla- ves must be operated in special chambers (C 2000, C 5000, C 7000, C 200). The decomposition vessels must undergo repeated tests (internal tests and pressure tests) performed by the technical expert.

    It is still possible, however, to meet the accuracy specifications of the international standards. Time control Calorimeter C 200 performs the measurement automatically according to a set period of time and calculates the provisional result. The measuring time is set at 14 minutes. 4.7 Filling the calorimeter for the first time Before using the calorimeter for the first time you must fill the outer vessel with tap water.

    The complete bases of calculation for the calorific and heat value can be found in the relevant standards (e.g.: DIN 51 900; ASTM D 240; ASTM D 5865..). They are also con- tained in the CalWin calorimeter software. -WERKE C 200 Ver. 02/2.06 ®...

    (support C 5010.4, see Accessories). The sample is weighed out into the com- bustible crucible as normal. In most cases no additional burning aid is required because the combustible crucible itself serves as a burning aid. ® -WERKE C 200 Ver. 02/2.06...

  • Page 23: Information About The Sample

    (e.g. benzoic acid) must not be burnt loose. These materials tend to splash and there is therefore no guarantee of complete combustion. Furthermore, this can damage the inner wall of the decomposition vessel. IKA ® pelleting press C 21 and analytical mill A11 basic (see Accessories) are available for sample preparation.

  • Page 24: Calibration

    If substances are used in the decomposition vessel in combustion tests (e.g. distilled wa- ter or solutions), you must use exactly the same amount of this substance for calibration. For more detailed information on calibration, please see the relevant standards. ® -WERKE C 200 Ver. 02/2.06...

  • Page 25: Preparing And Performing Measurements

    If several decomposition vessels are used, their individual parts must not be interchan- ged (see Stamping individual parts). To prolong the life of wearing parts (o-rings, seals, etc.) we recommend that you always work with a water trap. -WERKE C 200 Ver. 02/2.06 ®...

  • Page 31: Cleaning The Decomposition Vessel

    If the decomposition vessel cannot be cleaned in the above way (e.g. due to baking, pitting, corrosion etc.), please contact the Technical Service. The combustion residue in the crucible, e.g. soot or ashes, should also be wiped away with an absorbent non-fibrous cloth. -WERKE C 200 Ver. 02/2.06 ®...

  • Page 38: Maintaining The Water Circulation

    In the case of discontinuous use with tap water (single measurements with long gaps) a stabiliser must be added to the water circulation to prevent the formation of algae.
