In order to be able to use the appliance properly and safely, every user must first
read the operating instructions and observe the safety instructions contained
therein. Take care of these operating instructions and keep them in a place where
they can be accessed by everyone.
The C 2000 calorimeter system may only be used to determine the gross calorific
value of solid and liquid materials materials in accordance with DIN 51900, BS 1016
T5, ISO 1928, ASTM 5468, ASTM 5865 and ASTM 4809. For this purpose, use only
original IKA
decomposition vessels C 5010, C 5012 and C 62. For further details
please see the operating instructions of the decomposition vessels C 5010, 5012
and C 62.
The maximum amount of energy input into the decomposition vessel must not ex-
ceed
-
. (Select the weight of the sample accordingly). The permissible oper-
ating pressure of
EDU
0SD
must not be exceeded. The maximum permissi-
ble operating temperature must not exceed
&
.
Do not fill the decomposition vessel too full of the sample. Only fill the decomposi-
tion vessel with oxygen up to a maximum pressure of
EDU0SD
. Monitor the
adjusted pressure on the pressure reducer of your oxygen supply. Perform a leak-
age test before every combustion (please observe the operating instructions of the
decomposition vessels C 5010, C 5012 and C 62, chapter ”Leakage test”).
Many substances tend to combust in an explosive manner (for example because of
the formation of peroxide). This may cause the decomposition vessel to burst.

Substances of which the combustion behavior is not known must be examined for
their combustion behavior before combustion in the decomposition vessel C 5010, C
5012 or C 62 (danger of explosion). If you are burning
XQNQRZQVDPSOHV
, leave the
room or
NHHSDVDIHGLVWDQFH
between you and the calorimeter.
Benzoic acid must only be burned in the form of pellets! Combustible dust and powder
must be compressed into pellets before combustion. Oven-dry dust and powder such
as wood chips, hay, straw, etc. burn in an explosive manner! They must be moistened
first! Readily combustible liquids with a low vapor pressure must not be come in direct
contact with the cotton thread (for example tetramethyl dihydrogen disiloxan)!
In addition, toxic residues of combustion are possible in the form of gasses, ash or
precipitates on the inner wall of the decomposition vessel, for example.

When handling combustion samples, combustion residues and auxiliary materials,
the appropriate safety requirements must be observed. The following are examples
of substances that may cause dangers:
–
corrosive
–
easily flammable
–
capable of exploding
–
contaminated with bacteria
–
toxic
