  • Patent number: 5494826
    Abstract: A microcalorimeter includes instrumentation for reducing measurement errors due to system fluctuations. One or more sensors is utilized to detect heat content of a sample gas, and create a composition independent system. Instrumentation for automatically compensating for pressure and temperature variations is also employed in the microcalorimeter. A method for continuously measuring the BTU content of a gas utilizing the microcalorimeter includes steps for adjusting system parameters in response to changes in ambient conditions and sample gas composition to further reduce measurement error.
