Abstract: Measurement of the heating value of gas is now c major importance to the gas industry, while at c time the cubic foot was the standard used and heating value was generally assumed to be 1000 BTU per cubic foot. To determine the efficiency of gas burning equipment, heating value must be known. Prices of the cubic foot of gas also vary with its quality. Measurement of heating value must now be accurate and reliable. The Recording Calorimeter is a precision instrument designed to measure and record heating value in BTU per standard cubic foot. One BTU (British Thermal Unit) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one (1) pound of pure water one (1) degree Fahrenheit (from 58,5 to 59.5 degrees). In order for the Recording Calorimeter to maintain accuracy, proper installation and subsequent inspections by qualified technicians cannot be overemphasized.
