Welcome.

We are pleased to have this opportunityto tell you about our new Series 6000 Oxygen Bomb calorimeters. Over 100 years ago Prof. S.W. Parr introduced his first calorimeter intended for routine fuel testing. We believe we are continuing his tradition of applyingthe latest in technology to meet the real needs of today’s researchand fuel testing laboratories.In these new Calorimeters we have combined ourunderstanding of the basic fundamentals of calorimetry withour best mechanical designs and the latest in microprocessorbased controls and communications. Our objective has been toproduce a family of calorimeters from which our customer can select aninstrument well matched to their requirements for precision, testing load, automation, laboratory environment, sample size, existing equipment and operating preferences. By using this family approach we believe we can offer this wide selection at very attractive prices. We hope you will agree that this new line of Calorimeters fulfills this design objective.Mike SteffensonPresident
