Unlocking Accurate Heat of Combustion Values: Why ISO 1716 is a Game-Changer for Shipbuilding Materials

In the world of shipbuilding and construction, safety and efficiency are paramount. One crucial aspect of ensuring the integrity of materials used in these processes is determining their heat of combustion (HOC) values. This vital piece of information helps manufacturers understand how materials will behave under various conditions, enabling them to make informed decisions about material selection, storage, and handling.

At Eurolab, our team of experts offers a comprehensive laboratory service that adheres to the rigorous standards set by ISO 1716: Determination of the Heat of Combustion of Shipbuilding Materials. By partnering with us for this essential testing procedure, youll not only ensure compliance with regulatory requirements but also gain valuable insights into your materials performance.

What is ISO 1716?

ISO 1716 is an international standard that outlines a method for determining the heat of combustion (HOC) of various materials used in shipbuilding and construction. This standard ensures uniformity and consistency across industries, enabling material manufacturers and suppliers to provide accurate data about their products.

The HOC value represents the amount of energy released when a specific quantity of material is combusted. In other words, it measures the thermal energy content of a substance. Accurate HOC values are critical in shipbuilding as they:

  • Help prevent fires and explosions by identifying potential ignition sources

  • Inform storage and handling practices to minimize risks

  • Support emergency response planning and procedures

  • Enable designers and engineers to optimize material selection for specific applications
