If the share of quantitatively analyzed heat flow calorimetry data is significantly increased, the full potential of calorimetric data, especially in admixture research, can be unlocked. In particular, a standardized method for determining characteristic times from the heat flow curves can improve the consistency of the data analysis. We presume that the scarcity of quantitative calorimetric data partly results from the lack of convenient and robust procedures for quantifying characteristic times or heat values in the signal.
