used in bomb calorimeter to measure heat
Une prise d'essai du matériau, de masse déterminée est brûlée dans des conditions normalisées en présence d'oxygène et d'******acide benzoïque étalon****** si nécessaire, dans une bombe calorifique (équivalent en eau connu). Le pouvoir calorifique supérieur mesuré dans ces conditions, à volume constant, se calcule à partir de l'élévation de température constatée au moyen d'un calorimètre adiabatique automatique.
Later on, this is weighed:
1er essai
- Masse d'échantillon 0,1992 gramme
- Masse d'*****acide benzoïque étalon***** 0,4988 gramme
- Élévation de température 1,4390 °C
----
It's the étalon that is particularly confusing me. Does anybody know what this is?
Many thanks!

Note from asker:
Ah! That makes a lot more sense now! Thanks so much for such a speedy response, so late on a Saturday night. Now for another (dumb?) question: can this standard be weighed? |
