The unique design features which provide the high degree of automation in the 6400 Calorimeter cause it to differ in certain physical details from the basic calorimeter designs prescribed in older standard methods. However, the basic requirements of these test methods have been reviewed and testing has confirmed that the results obtainable with these calorimeters will meet or exceed the repeatability and reproducibility limits specified in these test methods. The 6200 Calorimeter is designed with the classic removable vessel and bucket. It easily complies with all standards. The technical staff at Parr Instrument Company would be happy to review additional methods to help determine compliance.
