Abstract: Heating value of gas is now of major importance to the gas industry, while at one time the cubic foot was the standard used for measurement and the heating value was generally assumed to be 1000 B.T.U. per cubic foot. In order to determine the efficiency of gas burning equipment, heating value must be known. Natural gas prices also vary with quality. Since large sums of money are often involved, the measurement of heating value must now be accurate and reliable, The Recording Calorimeter is a precision instrument designed to measure and record heating value expressed in B.T.U. (British Thermal Unit) per standard cubic foot. While other methods of B.T.U. measurement are available and used extensively in the gas industry, this discussion will be confined to the Cutler-Hammer combustion type calorimeter. In order to obtain accuracy and reliability from this type calorimeter, proper installation and subsequent inspections and maintenance by qualified technicians cannot be overemphasized.
