Bomb calorimeter was developed for measuring the calorific value of combustible matter such as wastes. The calorimeter consist of bomb, stirred-water type bucket, thermometer and ignition circuit. Operation and performance of the calorimeter have been tested experimentally. In the present study, calorific values of light oil, lamp oil, benzoic acid, ethyl alcohol and methyl alcohol is measured using the bomb calorimeter. Mass of the sample is fixed at 19, and oxygen pressure in the bomb is used as an experimental parameter. Sample in the oxygen bomb is burned with electrically heated Ni-Cr wire of 100mm in length, and temperature of water in the bucket become increased by $2{\sim}5^{\circ}C$ during about 30min. Calorific value of the sample is calculated with the temperature difference of water. Combustion tests, such as the record of temperature history and the inspection of remnants, are performed at 6, 8 and 10 atm of the oxygen pressure. From the test results, oxygen pressure in the bomb must be over 10atm for complete combustion.
