Essai déterminant la "capacité calorifique" d’un combustible. Celui-ci est d’abord pesé, puis introduit dans une enceinte étanche de taille réduite (volume d’environ 1 litre) où se trouve installée une bougie. Après avoir introduit de l’oxygène pur sous pression, on provoque l’allumage de la mèche. Une explosion s’ensuit, suivie d’une combustion totale. 2, record 4, French, - test%20de%20la%20bombe%20calorim%C3%A9trique
