C 200 Calorimeter System

Overview

The IKA C 200 is a space-saving, low-cost combustion calorimeter designed for determining the gross calorific values of both liquid and solid samples. Validated according to DIN 51900, ISO 1928, ASTM D240, ASTM D4809, ASTM D5865, ASTM D1989, ASTM D5468, and ASTM E711 standards, this system is ideal for teaching and training environments—including technical schools and universities—as well as for industrial laboratories with lower sample throughput.

The C 200 operates with manual handling for water and oxygen filling and offers four distinct working methods: isoperibolic, dynamic, manual, and time-controlled, allowing ideal adjustment to different operating tasks. The unit features a clear, easily explained display that is simple to use. With an external power pack, the calorimeter is "world tension usable" from 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, with an operating voltage of 24 V DC low-voltage for safe operation.

Features

• Four measuring modes: isoperibolic, dynamic, manual, and time-controlled
• Manual mode (teaching mode): operator performs ignition and ends measurement manually; temperature increase displayed each minute; all calculations done manually
• Automatic modes (isoperibolic, dynamic, time-controlled): automatic ignition and gross calorific value calculation displayed on screen
• Acid corrections and net calorific value calculations performed manually
• Measuring time dynamic: approx. 8 minutes
• Measuring time isoperibolic: approx. 17 minutes
• Measuring time manual: approx. 17 minutes (operator-dependent)
• Measuring time time-controlled: 14 minutes
• Temperature measurement resolution: 0.0001 K
• Reproducibility: 0.1 %RSD (1g benzoic acid NBS39i) in both dynamic and isoperibolic modes
• External power pack: 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz; operating voltage 24 V DC
• Interfaces: Centronix (printer), RS232 (PC)
• Decomposition vessel C 5010 compatible with combustible crucibles C 14 (requires accessory C 5010.4 attachment)
• Optional user-friendly software C 6040 Calwin for controlling the calorimeter and administration of measuring data; data transfer to Excel or Word possible
• Up to eight IKA measuring cells can be controlled by a single PC using a multiserial plug-in card PCI 8.2 (accessory)

Applications

• Determination of gross calorific values of liquid and solid samples
• Teaching and training in technical schools and universities
• Industrial laboratories with lower sample throughput
• Quality control and process development requiring combustion calorimetry
• Research applications requiring DIN, ISO, and ASTM compliant calorific value measurement
