Endothermic and exothermic reactions are measured in difference to an inert reference. The thermoelectric voltage, which is proportional to the heat flow of the respective sample, serves as the measurement signal. The heat of reaction can be measured via the integral of the temperature differences as a function of time. Thermal conductivity calorimetry is used for precise quantitative measurements of heats of reaction or for the qualitative visualisation of hydration processes.
