Calorimeter

A device for measuring heat of combustion (under compressed oxygen) or heat of explosion (under an inert gas such as argon); the latter is used for propellants, explosives and pyrochemical mixtures which react without outside oxygen, not to be mistaken for colourimeter, an apparatus to measure colour.
