Abstract: The recording calorimeter measures and records the difference between two quantities of heat. It is a machine which must set up definite conditions for these two heat levels, measure the difference, and translate this measurement on a chart showing B.T.U, per cubic foot at the conditions specified for a particular installation. A B.T.U. (British Thermal Unit) is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree F. The conditions specified may be the standard conditions of 14.73 p.s.i.a. (30 mercury) for pressure, 60 F for temperature, one cubic foot saturated for volume, or the same conditions corrected to a contract base.
