6775 Digital Thermometer

The 6775 Digital Thermometer provides digital precision and reliability for temperature measurements. Designed for use with the Parr 1341 Plain Jacket Calorimeter, the working temperature range is 10 to 40 degrees Celsius.

6750 Proximate Interface Shown with Standard Barcode Support Package

The use of barcodes in the laboratory has become a highly accurate, rapid and inexpensive way to identify samples. Parr offers two complete packages that can also be sold as individual components for use with the Parr 6000 Series instruments.

1758 Printer

Operating results and operator messages are displayed clearly on the touch screen for review and action. Many users who connect their calorimeter to a computer will choose to print their results from their computer and will not need a dedicated printer for their calorimeter.
For users who prefer to have a dedicated printer at the calorimeter, Parr offers the compact model 1758 Printer with USB interface.
The 1758 printer is a compact, dot matrix printer setup for 40-column reports. It is the default printer for the 6000 Series Calorimeters. It is housed in a separate 5.5 inches wide, 9 inches deep and 7 inches high. It operates from its own power supply.

SD Memory Card

The controller of the 6000 Series Calorimeters can accept SD memory cards. These cards can be used to:

• Copy test file data for transfer to a computer
• Copy log file data for transfer to a computer
• Copy user settings for back up
• Reload user settings to the controller
• Restore or update the controller’s operating system.

128MB Compact Flash

6000 Series Calorimeters produced before October 2010 can accept compact flash memory cards. These cards can be used to:

• Copy test file data for transfer to a computer
• Copy user settings for back up
• Reload user settings to the controller
• Restore or update the controller’s operating system.

Benzoic Acid

Calorific standard in powder or pellet form for standardizing all oxygen bomb calorimeters.

1138 Oxygen Combustion Bomb

The 1138 Oxygen Bomb is the standard bomb in the 6400 Calorimeter. The 1138 Oxygen Bomb has been designed to withstand a higher magnitude of tests. The head is designed with an O-ring groove which is optimized to minimize frictional wear, in turn improving the lifetime of the seal. The bomb head is removable for fast sample loading using the patented Quick Twist-Lock vessel closure design.

2811 Pellet Press

The Parr Pellet Press provides a convenient and inexpensive means for compressing powdered samples into pellet or tablet form for oxygen bomb calorimetry. Although many materials burn well as a loose powder, others such as benzoic acid must be pelletized for safe and complete combustion. A pelletized sample will: a) restrict the burning rate to a safe level, b) immobilize loose powder and prevent a possible blowout from the combustion cup, and c) permit easy handling during weighing and transfer to the bomb.
Pellets produced in the Parr press are cylindrical in shape with flat ends. Punch and die sets are available in six sizes from 3.0 mm to 1/2 inch diameters. All are interchangeable in the same basic press. The 1/2 inch size is most commonly used for bomb calorimetry.

43AS Stainless Steel Combustion Capsules

Parr fuel capsules, 2.5cm dia. x 1.0cm deep, are used in all 1105,1106,1108,1131 & 1136 oxygen bombs.

3601 Gelatin Capsules

Volatile liquid samples to be burned in an oxygen bomb can be weighed and handled conveniently in these two piece capsules. Size 00 capsules hold 0.9mL.

VM Crucibles with cover

An inexpensive, 13mL, nickel-chromium alloy crucible with an insert cover for determining volatile matter in coal and coke. Will withstand repeated heating to 1000°C without appreciable change in tare weight, but not recommended for procedures requiring extreme corrosion resistance.

These kits include all of the parts that Parr recommends be replaced in the oxygen bomb after 500 firings. Please note that these parts may need to be replaced on a more frequent basis depending on the nature of the sample. Included with the kit is a diagram, instructing the user on the proper placement of the parts. The kits are intended to supply the user with enough parts to perform the recommended 500 firing maintenance twelve times.
