The heat of combustion test is a critical procedure for determining the energy content of hydrocarbon fuels, coal, and building materials. Using a bomb calorimeter, this method measures the calorific value of fuels under constant-volume combustion, providing essential data for energy efficiency, performance, and quality control.
Applicable standards include:
• ASTM D240 / IP 12 – Heat of combustion of liquid hydrocarbon fuels (light distillates to residual fuels).
• ASTM D4809 / ASTM D2382 (obs..) – Precision method for aviation turbine fuels and a wide range of hydrocarbon fuels.
• ASTM D5865 / ASTM D3286 (obs..) – Gross calorific value of coal and coke by adiabatic bomb calorimeter.
• ISO 1716 – Reaction to fire test for building products, measuring heat of combustion at constant volume.
