1 Safety instructions
For your protection
Read the operating instructions in full before starting up and follow the safety instructions.
• Keep the operating instructions in a place whe-
re they can be accessed by everyone.
• Ensure that only trained staff work with the ap-
pliance.
Follow the safety instructions, guidelines,
occupational health and safety and acci-
dent prevention regulations.
• Wear your personal protective equipment
in accordance with the hazard category of the medium to be processed.
• Calorimeter system C 200 may only be used to
determine the calorific value of solid and fluid materials. Only the appropriate original IKA® decomposition vessels may be used for this purpose. For detailed information, please see the operating instructions for the decomposi­tion vessels.
• The maximum extra energy added to the de-
composition vessel must not exceed 40,000 J (select the test mass accordingly). The permit­ted operating pressure of 230 bar must not be exceeded. The maximum permitted operating temperature must not exceed 50 °C.
Do not overfill the decomposition vessel with sample. Only fill the decomposition vessel with oxygen to a maximum pressure of 40 bar. Check the set pressure on the pressure reducer. Perform a leakage test before each combustion process (follow operating instructions for de­composition vessel!).
• Some materials tend to explode when combus-
ted (e.g. due to formation of peroxide), which could cause the decomposition vessel to crack.
Standard decomposition vessels may not be used for testing explosive samples.
• If the burning behaviour of a material is unk-
nown, it must be tested before combustion in the decomposition vessel (risk of explosion). If you are burning unknown samples, leave the room or keep your distance from the calorime­ter.
• Benzoic acid may only be combusted in its
pressed form! Flammable dust and powder must be first pressed. Oven-dry dust and pow
der such as splints, hay, straw etc. explode
when combusted! Always wet these materi­als first! Highly flammable liquids with a low vapour pressure (e.g. tetramethyl dihydrogen disiloxane) must not directly touch the cotton thread!
• Furthermore, toxic combustion residue in the
form of gases, ashes or condensation, for ex­ample, is possible in the inner wall of the de­composition vessel.
• When handling combustion samples, com-
bustion residue and auxiliary materials, please observe the relevant safety regulations. The following materials, for example, could pose a
risk: – corrosive – highly flammable – explosive – bacteriologically contaminated – toxic
• Please observe the relevant regulations when
handling oxygen. Warning: oxygen as a compressed gas is
oxidising; intensively aids combustion; can
react violently with flammable materials.
Do not use oil or grease!
• Caution - magnetism! Effects of the mag-
netic field have to be taken into account (e.g.
data storage media, cardiac pacemakers ...).
• When using stainless steel crucibles tho-
roughly check their condition after each expe-
riment. If the material gets thinner, the crucible
may catch fire and damage the decomposition
vessel. Crucibles must not be used for more
than 25 combustions for safety reasons.
• The decomposition vessel is manufactured in
accordance with the directive for pressure
equipment 97/23/EC. This is indicated by the CE symbol with the ID
number of the notified body. The decompositi-
on vessel is a category III pressure device. The
decomposition vessel has undergone an EC
prototype test. The CE declaration of confor-
mity confirms that this decomposition vessel
corresponds to the pressure device described in
the EC prototype test certificate. The decompo-
sition vessel has undergone a pressure test
6
with test pressure of 330 bar and a leaka-
ge test with oxygen at 30 bar.
• Decomposition vessels are experiment autocla-
ves and must be tested by a technical expert after each use.
Individual use is understood here to include a
series of experiments performed under roughly the same conditions in terms of pressure and temperature. Experiment autoclaves must be operated in special chambers (C 2000, C 5000, C 7000, C 200).
• The decomposition vessels must undergo re-
peated tests (internal tests and pressure tests) performed by the technical expert. The fre­quency of these tests is to be determined by the operator on the basis of experience, type of operation and the material used in the de­composition vessel.
The declaration of conformity becomes invalid if mechanical modifications are carried out to the experiment autoclaves
or if tightness can no longer be guaran-
teed as a result of major corrosion (e.g. pitting by halogens).
• The threads on the body of the decomposition
vessel and the union nut are subject to conside­rable stress in particular and must therefore be checked regularly for wear.
• The condition and function of the seals must
be checked and ensured by way of a leakage test (see operating instructions for decompo-
sition vessel!).
• Only technical experts may perform pressure tests and service work on the decomposition vessel.
We recommend that you send the decom­position vessel to our factory for inspec-
tion, and if necessary, repair after 1000
tests or after one year or sooner depen-
ding on use.
• For the purposes of these operating instructions
a technical expert is someone
1.
who guarantees to conduct the tests properly on the basis of his training, knowledge and ex­perience gained through practical work,
2. who is sufficiently reliable,
3. who is not subject to any instructions in terms of the test activity,
4. who has suitable test equipment if necessary,
5. who can provide appropriate proof of the re­quirements listed in 1.
• National directives and laws must be observed
for operating pressure vessels!
Anyone operating a pressure vessel must keep it
in a proper condition, operate it properly, super­vise it, carry out the necessary maintenance and repair work immediately and implement the safety measures required in the circumstances.
• Pressure vessels must not be used if they have
defects which could pose a risk to staff or third parties. The pressure equipment directive can be obtained from Carl Heymanns or Beuth pu­blishers.
The C 248 oxygen station must be set up at least
1.5 m far away from the calorimeter.
For protection of the equipment
• The voltage stated on the type plate must cor-
respond to the mains voltage.
• Removable parts must be refitted to the appli-
ance to prevent the infiltration of foreign ob­jects, liquids etc.
• Protect the appliance and accessories from
bumps and impacts.
