Whilst Rumford’s cannon boring experiments can be seen in direct relation to the establishment of the theory of heat, two other of his research projects [...] the caloric theory, could not be created or destroyed. Since this fluid had volume, objects expanded when heated and contracted when cooled. Rumford’s observations contradicted the theory of caloric, and [...] the importance of Lavoisier's work lies not in the fact that his system can be seen as the accepted theory – and actually Rumford’s work did not change this impression significantly, on the very contrary:

By which experimental procedure can we choose the most [...] In 1777, Lavoisier conducted an experiment that established a fatal shortcoming of the phlogiston theory.
