Definition

Superior calorific value: The energy released as heat energy by the complete combustion in air of a defined quantity of gas, in such a manner that the pressure p_c at which the reaction takes place remains constant, and all the products of combustion are returned to the same specified temperature T_c as that of the reactants, all of these products being in the gaseous state except for water formed by combustion, which is condensed to the liquid state at T_c. If the water is also returned to the gaseous state, the calorific value is labelled inferior. See the Draft International Standard ISO/DIS 14532 for additional details.

The unit for the heating value has the dimension of energy per volume or energy per mass or energy per mole, i.e. it always refers to a specific quantity of gas as described above. The test heating value is determined at a set of test conditions (temperature T1, pressure p1) for the metering of the quantity of the gas and at a set of test conditions (temperature T2, pressure p2) for the combustion process.

The system converts the test heating value either using standard ISO-defined formulas to the base heating value or using customer user exits.
