The invention belongs to the technical field of a gas calorific value instrument, and particularly relates to a burner for the gas calorific value instrument, which comprises a gas inlet, a gas pipe, a high-pressure ignition electrode, the burner, an air pipe body and an air inlet, wherein the gas inlet is connected with a burner base provided with a gas channel; the gas pipe, the high-pressure ignition electrode and the bottom end of the air pipe body are connected with the burner base; the high-pressure ignition electrode and the gas pipe are arranged in the air pipe boy; the gas inlet is communicated with the gas pipe by the gas channel; a nozzle head is communicated with the gas pipe; a circular air mixing board is provided with a thread through hole, symmetrical through holes, a group of circular combustion-supporting air through holes and a group of long-strip combustion-supporting air through holes; and the burner consists of the circular air mixing board, the nozzle head and an injection pipe. The burner for the gas calorific value instrument is simple in structure, capable of guaranteeing the combustible gas to be rapidly mixed and gas with low calorific value to be easily ignited, and safe and stable in the combustion process.
