2. Overview of some calorimeters
Numerous devices have been developed. Some of these are described in standards, some have been adopted as part of national or international regulations, while others remain at the prototype stage and are used solely for research purposes. All are based on the same technique, but the experimental conditions are different. Here is a brief description of some of these devices, to illustrate the wide range of configurations and scales.
2.1 Microscopic scale
In the combustion microcalorimeter, measurements are carried out on small samples of just a few...
