1. Scope
1.Scope 1.1This guide covers the measurement of heat flow that occurs during a chemical reaction or phase change. 1.2This guide utilizes techniques of reaction calorimetry and may be performed with reactions in which the initial mass is a liquid or slurry. Additional material in a liquid, gas or solid phase may be added to the initial mass. 1.3Calculations outlined in the guide can be used in assessing the risk presented by a chemical process.
This would be a guideline to standardize terminology and calculations used in reaction calorimetry. The guidline would be used by chemical processors to facilitate hazard analysis.
