What is BS 7420 - Guide for determination of calorific values of C about?

BS 7420 gives guidance on the determination of calorific values of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels. BS 7420 includes definitions of different calorific values calculated on the basis of either constant pressure or constant volume, and with the water produced present either in the liquid or the vapour phase. The standard gives conditions for the experimental determination of calorific values and presents details of how to interconvert numerical values of differently defined calorific values. Note: It should be noted that the term “calorific value” is the legal and contractual term used in common practice by the solid fuel and gas industries, whereas the oil industry uses the alternative term “heat of combustion”.
