The new set of apparatus of the state primary standard of the units of heat of combustion and specific and volume heat of combustion

The results of research, carried out at the Mendeleev All-Russia Research Institute of Metrology in 2007–2010 to improve the standard base of Russia, are presented. This research resulted in the design and approval of a new generation of equipment, unique in the world, as the State Primary Standard of the units of heat of combustion - the joule, the specific heat of combustion - the joule per kilogram and the volume heat of combustion - the joule per cubic meter. The composition of the standard and its metrological characteristics are considered.
