Abstract
Calorimetric techniques allow us to evaluate the kinetics and heat developed during
a reaction. In this chapter, adiabatic and scanning calorimeters are presented. An application of
adiabatic calorimetry to evaluate Self Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT) is also
presented.
Keywords: Adiabatic Calorimetry, Scanning Calorimetry, Sadt Determination, Dta, Dsc.
