calorimeter: see calorimetry calorimetry (kăl'ərĭm`ətrē), measurement of heat and the determination of heat capacity . ..... Click the link for more information. . calorimeterDevice for measuring heat produced during a mechanical, electrical, or chemical reaction and for calculating the heat capacity of materials. A common design, known as a bomb calorimeter, consists of a reaction chamber surrounded by a liquid that absorbs the heat produced by the reaction. The amount of heat can be determined from the increase in temperature, taking into account the properties of the container and the liquid. |

| Instrumentation: Industrial ovens, test chambers, calorimeters Built initially for the company's own use, the TFC-9000 thin-film calorimeter measures heat generated by the curing reaction. The calibration methods used by the participating organizations included blackbodies or radiating panels to irradiate the sensors, and the heat-flux at the sensor was calculated by radiometric principles or reference standard calorimeters. |
