1901 Oxygen Combustion Apparatus

Operating Instruction Manual

206M

Scope

These instructions cover the steps to be taken in

setting up and operating the equipment furnished

with a Parr 1901 Oxygen Combustion Apparatus for

combustion procedures with a Parr 1108 Oxygen

Combustion Vessel. Although the 1108 is normally

used with this apparatus, the apparatus can be used

equally well with other Parr combustion vessels,

namely the:

• 1104 High Strength Oxygen Combustion Vessel

for explosives and fast- burning samples

• 1121 Large Oxygen Combustion Vessel (1850 mL)

for testing large, slow-burning samples.

Separate instruction sheets are provided for each

oxygen combustion vessel, as listed below. The user

should study all applicable instructions carefully be-

fore starting to use this apparatus so that he will fully

understand the capabilities of the equipment and the

safety precautions to be observed in its operation.

1901 Oxygen Bomb Apparatus Assemble The Apparatus Assemble the several parts of the apparatus on a table or bench with convenient access to cold running water, a drain and to an electric outlet. About 8 sq. ft. of work space will be required. Other necessary accessories include a chemical balance sensitive to 0.1 mg and a tank of oxygen. A standard 1A cylinder with a purity of 99.5% is usually sufficient for bomb combustion purposes.
