Formula for Water Equivalent : W = H x M + (CVT + CVW)

T
➢ T = Final rise in Temperature in Degree Celsius
➢ M = Mass of sample in grams
➢ H = Known Calorific Value of Benzoic Acid in cal/gram
➢ W = Water Equivalent in calories per degrees centigrade
➢ CVT = Calorific Value of thread
( 2.1/cm (when using thread 10 cm, CV of thread = 2.1x 10 = 21 cal)
➢ CVW = Calorific Value of Ignition wire
( 2.33/cm (when using wire 6 cm, CV of wire = 2.33x 4 = 9.32 cal)
➢ CVs = Calorific Value of Sample
Notice that we used 4-cm wire in calculation because approximately 2-cm wire
is used to strap around the electrodes which is left unburnt. The thread burns
completely therefore calorific value remains constant, which is 21 for 10 cm.
Formula for Calorific value of sample: - CVs = T x W - ( CVT + CVW )

Please follow some basic points to operate bomb calorimeters

a. Quantity of water :Always take same quantity of water
➢ Keep empty S.S. Bomb in calorimeter vessel
➢ Pour water until it touches the top surface of closure ring (where Sr.No. is marked)
➢ Remove S.S. bomb
➢ Measure this quantity of water and round off
➢ Use this quantity of water every time in every test
b. Take approx. 1.0grm of sample (0.900 to 1.100grm.) in pellet form

c. Keep sample in S.S. Crucible
d. Tie Ignition Wire
e. Tie cotton thread in center of ignition wire and touch the other end to sample.
f. Close S.S. bomb and fill oxygen up to 26kg/cm2
g. Fill same quantity of distilled water in calorimeter vessel and put S.S. bomb inside
h. Connect electrical lead / connecting cable over the S.S. bomb terminals
i. Place combined lid
j. Fix stirrer unit and place sensor inside the calorimeter vessel through combined lid
Now, turn ON the stirrer and wait at least 5-6 minutes till temp. reading becomes stable
k. Press fire button

l. Feed weight of sample, thereafter instrument will take over and calculate the result.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS
➢ Change distilled water every time or wait at least 1-2 hours till the temperature of
distilled water becomes normal again equivalent to room temperature.
➢ Understand the schredar valve & valve key

mechanism that how the valve key is used to grip
the schredar valve, this will help to replace the
damaged valve without damaging the valve body.
Rotate the valve key clockwise to tight the valve
& rotate anticlockwise to loosen the valve. Do not
exert full pressure on the valve key. Stop rotating
clockwise as soon as first resistance is felt. If
valve got damaged or broken during the process
then valve body is to be replaced. This part is not
covered under warranty.
➢ Do not keep sensor in water when instrument is not used, keep it dry
➢ Do not close oxygen control valve tightly otherwise it will start leaking
