ISO5660 Cone Calorimeter Analysis Instrument For Heat Release
Provide accurate and reliable data support for the testing of the
combustion properties of your materials.
Product Overview
The SL‑FL01 Cone Calorimeter is a precision testing instrument
based on the oxygen consumption principle, designed to accurately
measure the combustion performance of materials. The core of this
principle is that the heat released per unit of oxygen consumed
during combustion is essentially constant (measured as 13.1 MJ/kg ±
5%). Developed by V. Babrauskas of NIST and others in 1982, and
continuously improved over more than 30 years, it has become one of
the most important test instruments for studying the combustion
behavior of materials.
The SL‑FL01 strictly complies with international authoritative test
standards such as ASTM E1354 and ISO 5660, and is widely applicable
to R&D in building materials, polymers, electronic products,
and more, helping you pass stringent quality certifications and
accelerate product market entry.

paramagnetic change to measure the concentration of oxygen in the
gas. Concentration range of 025%.
8.Smoke density analysis using laser system, the system consists of
a 0.5mW He Ne laser, the main detector and auxiliary detector.
The exhaust system consists of the fan, the smoke collection cover,
the exhaust pipe and orifice plate flow meter and so on. Exhaust
fan flow rate of 0 ~ 50g/s, precision 0.1g/s.
9.Ring sampler have been installed from the smoke collecting hood
at 685 mm, with 12 holes.
10.The exhaust flow rate should be determined by measuring the
pressure difference on both sides of the sharp edge orifice 350 mm
above the fan, the inner diameter of the sharp
edge orifice plate is 57mm + 1mm.
11.ABB SCCS Gas sampling system comprises sampling pump, filter,
cold trap, waste water discharge, water filters and CO2 filters;
Portable water cooling system without need for waterworks and
plumbing when using the Heat Flux meter (for ISO 5660).
12.In order to calibrate the response of the whole test system, the
use of a square opening brass calibration burner, used to measure
the value of C coefficient.
13.The data acquisition system be able to record oxygen analyzer,
orifice meter, thermocouple and other instruments of the output.

FAQ
Q1: What standards does the SL‑FLO1 meet, and how is ISO 5660
compliance ensured?
A1: It complies with ASTM E1354, ISO 5660:2015, and more than ten
other standards. Compliance is guaranteed through strict design,
manufacturing, and calibration procedures, with regular checks
using certified reference materials.
Q2: Can it handle my material type and form?
A2: Yes – it works for building materials, polymers, electronics,
and more, in various shapes (boards, foams, films). For detailed
specs tailored to your sample, just contact us.
Q3: What about automation and software?
A3: The system includes smart software for real‑time monitoring,
automatic data logging, and instant report generation – saving you
significant manual work.
Q4: How cost‑effective is it?
A4: One unit measures heat release, smoke, ignition time, gas
species (CO, CO₂, O₂), and mass loss – no need for multiple
instruments. It saves lab space, cuts purchase costs, and its
reliable data helps you pass certifications faster.
Q5: How does a cone calorimeter differ from an oxygen index tester?
A5: The cone calorimeter gives comprehensive fire behaviour data
(especially heat release rate) based on oxygen consumption, while
the oxygen index tester only measures the minimum O₂ concentration
to sustain burning. They serve different purposes – the cone
provides a fuller picture.
Q6: Do you support complex testing scenarios?
A6: Yes – we have a broad application library and can customise
test setups, sample prep, and analysis methods to fit your unique
requirements. Just tell us what you need.

How does a cone calorimeter work?
The Cone is a fire testing tool based on the principle that the
amount of heat released from a burning sample is directly related
to the amount of oxygen consumed during the combustion. The amount
of heat a material generates is directly aligned with the severity
of a fire, such as fire growth rate.
