Abstract

A heat flow calorimeter comprises a single sample holder (5) in thermal contact with a heat source (1). A temperature difference over mutually spaced locations (11, 12) along a heat flow path between sample (23) and heat source (1) is measured. The measured signal (24, 25) is combined with a compensation signal from a signal source (34) to derive a compensated temperature difference signal representative of the net heat flow to sample (23), (FIG. 1).
