MEASUREMENT OF METHANE CALORIFIC VALUE USING METAL JACKET BURNER

Joohyun Lee, Suyong Kwon, Yong-Gyoo Kim

Abstract

Reference gas calorimeter was built based on the isoperibolic method. Unlike the other reference gas burner which is usually made of glass, the developed gas burner was made of stainless steel and gross calorific value of methane was measured. The result shows 0.4% difference with the value specified by ISO 6976 and the uncertainty is 1.1%. The metal jacket burner shows the promise of the standardization of the gas burner and development of the portable device.
