An apparatus that is used to empirically determine the heating value of a combustible material.
An instrument for measuring quantities of heat
a device used to measure the specific heat capacity of a substance.
a device that can measure the energy deposited in it by particles traveling through it. There are two types of calorimeters in the CDF detector, an electromagnetic calorimeter (detects electrons and photons) and hadronic calorimeter (detects hadron jets).
In particle physics, any device that can measure the energy deposited in it by particles (originally a device that measured heat energy deposited, thus a calorie-meter).

a device for measuring the heat of reaction.
An insulated vessel for measuring the amount of heat absorbed or released by a chemical or physical change.

A detector with a component that releases electricity when a photon of light passes through it. It is used to measure a gamma ray's energy.
a measuring instrument that determines quantities of heat
a device that measures the transfer of heat energy during a chemical or physical change
a device to do this process
a device used to measure the amount of heat absorbed or released during a chemical or physical process
a device used to measure the quantity of heat flow in a chemical reaction
a device used to measure thermal quantity, such as specific heat capacity or latent heat capacity
a device which is used to measure and define the internal energy of a system
an instrument for measuring heat absorbed or released during reactions
an instrument for measuring the heat of a reaction during a well defined process

An instrument which measures the energy, usually as heat generated by absorption of the laser beam.
Any one of a number of devices used for measuring the heat content.
A device that can measure the energy deposited in it. (originally devices to measure heat energy deposited, using change of temperature; particle physicists use the word for any energy measuring device.)
an instrument that measures heat.
An instrument designed to measure quantities of heat. Sometimes used in meteorology to measure solar radiation.

A device used to measure the heat energy that flows into or out of a substance.
a device used to measure the caloric value of a given food, or heat production of animals or humans.
special containers used to measure the exchange of heat when substances are mixed.
An apparatus for measuring the amount of heat released by the combustion of a compound or mixture.
Device used to measure quantities of heat or determine specific heats.
A calorimeter is a device used for calorimetry, the science of measuring the heat of chemical reactions or physical changes as well as heat capacity. The word calorimeter is derived from the Latin word calor, meaning heat. Differential Scanning Calorimeters, Isothermal Microcalorimeters, Titration Calorimeters and Accelerated Rate Calorimeters are among the most uncommon types.
In particle physics, a calorimeter is an experimental apparatus that measures the energy of particles. Most particles enter the calorimeter and initiate a particle shower and the particles' energy is deposited in the calorimeter, collected, and measured. The energy may be measured in its entirety, requiring total containment of the particle shower, or it may be sampled.
a vessel with a lid for conducting experiments in calorimetry
a container with two chambers
