Failure to observe this information can result in inaccurate measurements. General hazard Contents 5 Safety instructions Read the operating instructions in full before starting up and follow the safety instructions. Keep the operating instructions in a place where they can be accessed by everyone. Ensure that only trained staff work with the appliance. Follow the safety instructions, guidelines, occupational health and safety and accident prevention regulations. The IKA ® C 6000 global standards/isoperibol calorimeter system may be used only in conjunction with the decomposition vessels C 6010 or C 6012 for determination of the calorifi c values of solid and liquid substances to national and international standards (such as DIN 51900, BS 1016 T5, ISO 1928, ASTM 5468, ASTM 5865 and ASTM 4809). The maximum extra energy added to the decomposition vessel must not exceed 40,000 J (select the test mass accordingly). The permitted operating pressure of 230 bar (23 MPa) must not be exceeded. The maximum permitted operating temperature must not exceed 50 °C . When burning substances containing metals, ensure that the maximum energy input is not exceeded! Only fi ll the decomposition vessel with oxygen to a maximum pressure of 40 bar (4 MPa) . Check the pressure setting on the pressure reducer for your oxygen supply. Perform a leakage test before each combustion process (see section „Leaktightness testing“). Some materials tend to explode when combusted (e.g. due to formation of peroxides), which could cause the decomposition vessel to crack. The IKA ® C 6000 global standards/isoperibol calorimeter may not be used for testing explosive samples . If the burning behaviour of a material is unknown, 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 fi rst pressed. Oven-dry dust and powder such as splints, hay, straw etc. explode when combusted! Always wet these materials fi rst! Highly fl ammable 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. Observe the accident prevention requirements applicable to the activity and the work station. Wear your personal protective equipment. When handling combustion samples, combustion residue and auxiliary materials, please observe the relevant safety regulations. The following materials, for example, could pose a risk: – corrosive – highly fl ammable – explosive – bacteriologically contaminated – toxic Please observe the relevant regulations when handling oxygen . Warning: oxygen as a compressed gas is oxidising;
