- Abstract
- An adiabatic calorimeter accurante to 0.1 percent and suitable for heat capacity measurements of solids and liquids over the temperature range 30 deg to 500 deg C is described. Factors affecting the Design and Accuracy are discussed. Automatic controls permit one-man operation of the apparatus. Measurements of the heat capacity of Al2O3 agree to 0.1 percent with earlier measurements made with other calorimeters at the National Bureau of Standards.
