Abstract: Measurement of the heating value of gas is now of major importance to the gas industry, while at one time the cubic foot was the standard used, and heating value was a minor thing. 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 B.T.U. per standard cubic foot. One B.T.U. (British Thermal Unit) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of pure water 1 degree Fahrenheit (from 58.5 to 59.5 degrees). In order for the Recording Calorimeter to maintain accuracy, proper installation and subsequent testing by qualified technicians cannot be over emphasized.
