Scope*1.1 This test method
3、 covers the determination of the heat ofcombustion of hydrocarbon fuels. It is designed specifically foruse with aviation turbine fuels when the permissible differencebetween duplicate determinations is of the order of 0.2 %. Itcan be used for a wide range of volatile and nonvolatilematerials where
4、slightly greater differences in precision can betolerated.1.2 In order to attain this precision, strict adherence to alldetails of the procedure is essential since the error contributedby each individual measurement that affects the precision shallbe kept below 0.04 %, insofar as possible.1.3 Under
5、normal conditions, the method is directly appli-cable to such fuels as gasolines, kerosines, Nos. 1 and 2 fueloil, Nos. 1-D and 2-D diesel fuel and Nos. 0-GT, 1-GT, and2-GT gas turbine fuels.1.4 Through the improvement of the calorimeter controlsand temperature measurements, the precision is improve

Summary of Test Method4.1 The heat of combustion is determined by burning aweighed sample in an oxygen-bo
26、mb calorimeter under con-trolled conditions. The temperature increase is measured by atemperature reading instrument which allows the precision ofthe method to be met. The heat of combustion is calculatedfrom temperature observations before, during, and after com-bustion, with proper allowance for t
27、hermochemical and heat-transfer corrections. Either isoperibol or adiabatic calorimetersmay be used.5. Significance and Use5.1 The heat of combustion is a measure of the energyavailable from a fuel. A knowledge of this value is essentialwhen considering the thermal efficiency of equipment forproduci
28、ng either power or heat.5.2 The mass heat of combustion, that is, the heat ofcombustion per unit mass of fuel, is measured by this proce-dure. Its magnitude is particularly important to weight-limitedvehicles such as airplanes, surface effect vehicles, and hydro-foils as the distance such craft can
29、travel on a given weight offuel is a direct function of the fuels mass heat of combustionand its density.5.3 The volumetric heat of combustion, that is, the heat ofcombustion per unit volume of fuel, can be calculated bymultiplying the mass heat of combustion by the density of thefuel (mass per unit
30、 volume). The volumetric heat of combus-tion, rather than the mass heat of combustion, is important tovolume-limited craft such as automobiles and ships, as it isdirectly related to the distance traveled between refuelings.6.
