Cone Calorimeter

The LS-ISO5660 Cone Calorimeter is a high-precision instrument for material combustion performance testing, engineered to the oxygen consumption principle (13.1 MJ/kg ± 5% accuracy). This system provides accurate measurement of critical combustion parameters including heat release rate, smoke production rate, and mass loss rate, delivering essential data for comprehensive fire safety assessments of materials.

The modular architecture comprises a standard gas analysis cabinet, test control cabinet, combustion test platform, and integrated measurement modules. With its robust construction and user-friendly interface, this calorimeter meets the rigorous testing requirements for solid materials across diverse applications.

The LS-ISO5660 Cone Calorimeter finds application in building materials, plastics, composites, and related sectors. During material research and development, it supports flame retardant formulation optimization. For product certification processes, it enables accurate fire rating assessments. Third-party testing laboratories utilize its precise measurement capabilities for quality verification and compliance testing.

This instrument demonstrates compliance with multiple authoritative international standards, establishing it as a core analytical tool in material safety testing laboratories.
