Basic investigations on fuel analysis and ash and ablation behavior are performed according to DIN or DIN conforms.

A fuel analysis includes among others a brief analysis, elementary analysis, determination of calorific and heating value and sieve analysis. The melting behavior and chemical composition of fuel ash, as well as of base samples e. g. of combustion experiments, are being examined in ash and slag analyses.
Furthermore, kinetic data for ignition and ablation behavior of fuels in the field pipe, Ignition reactor and batch-reaktor are determined.
