- Volume of calorimeters oven 15l, means of measurement can be modified
- sensitivity 0,05°C or 0,5 mW/g of sample
- Operational modes:
- DTA – sequential
- Thermal analysis under isothermal conditions
- Thermal analysis under dynamic heating
- Thermal analysis under adiabatic conditions
- Accelerated Rate Calorimetry (ARC)
- Thermal analysis under isoperibolic conditions
IKA C4000
- Oxygen combustion calorimeter with adiabatic shield, for determination of heat of combustion and heating value of combustible materials.
