Accelerating Rate Calorimetry (ARC) is a technique that measures thermal and pressure properties of exothermic chemical reactions. An ARC is heating the substance in stages until very slow decomposition that helps industry operate safely and profitably. This method is primarily employed in industries and research fields where understanding the thermal behaviour of materials and reactions is crucial for safety and process optimization, such as the chemical, pharmaceutical, and energy sectors.
