Standard Test Method for
Heat of Combustion of Liquid Hydrocarbon Fuels by Bomb
Calorimeter (Precision Method)
Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the heat of combustion of hydrocarbon fuels. It is designed specifically for use with aviation turbine fuels when the permissible difference
between duplicate determinations is of the order of 0.2 %. It can be used for a wide range of volatile and nonvolatile materials where slightly greater differences in precision can be tolerated.
1.2 In order to attain this precision, strict adherence to all details of the procedure is essential since the error contributed by each individual measurement that affects the precision shall be kept below 0.04 %, insofar as possible.
1.3 Under normal conditions, the method is directly applicable to such fuels as gasolines, kerosines, Nos. 1 and 2 fuel oil, Nos. 1-D and 2-D diesel fuel and Nos. 0-GT, 1-GT, and
2-GT gas turbine fuels. 1.4 Through the improvement of the calorimeter controls and temperature measurements, the precision is improved over that of Test Method D 240.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
1.6 This standard does not purport to address the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see
Section 7, 10.6, A1.7.1 and Annex A3.
