Standard Test Method for Heat of Combustion of Liquid Hydrocarbon Fuels with the ASTM D4809 Bomb Calorimeter

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ASTM D4809 testing. This test method covers the determination of the heat of combustion of hydrocarbon fuels.

It is specifically designed for use with aviation turbine fuels where the allowable difference between double determinations is 0,2%. It can be used for a wide variety of volatile and non-volatile materials where slightly larger differences in sensitivity can be tolerated.

To achieve this precision it is essential to strictly adhere to all details of the procedure, as the error caused by each individual measurement affecting precision must be kept below 0.04% as much as possible.

By improving the calorimeter controls and temperature measurements, the accuracy has been improved over that of Test Method D240.

Values ​​stated in SI units should be accepted as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

This standard does not purport to address all, if any, safety concerns associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health and environmental practices and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions prior to use.
