History of Laboratories: Chemistry

History of Laboratories: Alchemy LaboratoriesBefore chemistry, there was alchemy. Alchemists aimed to turn everything into gold and find the elixir of immortality by discovering the "philosopher's stone". They also conducted experiments to understand the basic building blocks of nature. Thanks to this, the foundations of chemistry were laid. Alchemy pioneered both chemistry and the first laboratories. Although the alchemists were not scientists, they made the first experiments in chemistry. And they also observed the transformation of substances in a controlled environment for the first time.

Maintenance of Bomb Calorimeter

Maintenance of Bomb CalorimeterA bomb calorimeter is an analytical device used to determine the energy value. It is known that the calorimeter device, which must be used in laboratory conditions, has an important place in different sectors. Bomb calorimeter, which is used to determine the calorie values of materials, especially waste, coal analysis, biofuel and food, is one of the most common methods to determine the energy value.As a principle of operation, calorimeter devices that measure by taking advantage of the heat transfer transferred by the sample burned under high pressure to the reactor should have certain maintenance periods depending on the area of use. During maintenance operations, it is important to follow the procedures specified in ASTM D5865-E144 and ISO 1928 standards. However, analyzers who perform their work in the waste sector should complete the test operations by providing maintenance operations of the analysis chambers within the time specified by the manufacturer, without waiting for the December specified by the standard.

Types of Bomb Calorimeters

Bomb calorimeter is used to determine the energy value in different sectors. There are three different bomb calorimeter devices on the market, namely manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic. These devices, which serve to determine the calorie value, are designed according to the user's demands for the accuracy of the analysis results.In manual calorimeter devices, the water filling process is performed by the user. These devices have the oldest technology and can lead to high deviations in calorie values. The realization of water filling by the user directly affects the analysis results, which may lead to an increase in the margin of error in the analysis. Therefore, manual calorimeter devices have wider deviation range, which has a limited performance in terms of accuracy.
