2810 Pellet Press
The Parr Pellet Press provides a convenient and
inexpensive means for compressing powdered
samples into pellet form for oxygen bomb calo-
rimetry. Although many materials burn well as
a loose powder, others such as benzoic acid
must be made into a pellet for safe and com-
plete combustion. Punch and die sets are avail-
able in six sizes:
• 1/2 inches
• 1/8 inches
• 1/4 inches
• 3.0 mm
• 3/8 inches
• 4.5 mm
Calorific Standards
Parr offers benzoic acid as a secondary stan-
dard, traceable to NIST, for standardizing the
bomb calorimeters. Also offered is Trizma base
(>99.9% by titration) for standardizing the 6755
Solution Calorimeter.

Volatile Matter Crucibles
An inexpensive, 13 mL, nickel-chromium alloy
crucible with an insert cover for determining
volatile matter in coal and coke. The crucibles
will withstand repeated heating to 1000 °C
without appreciable change in tare weight, but
not recommended for procedures requiring
extreme corrosion resistance.
