- Abstract
- A device for calibrating calorimeter test rooms was evaluated by installing it on a test room calorimeter of small, known thermal transmittance which contained electric heaters capable of providing varying metered heat loads. The calibration device was evaluated only for its ability to measure heat load. The calorimeter instrumentation is described in detail. The calibration device is described primarily by reference.
