Toward a standard nomenclature for calorimetry
A systematic nomenclature for describing calorimeters is proposed. The instrument name and description must include four parts: the method of heat measurement, a description of the temperature control of the surroundings, a description of the means of initiating the heat effect, and a description of the operation of the calorimeter including data analysis.
