Description

ZXLR Cone Calorimeter | ISO 5660 GB/T 16172 Building Material Heat Release Rate Fire Test Machine

1. Product Overview

The ZXLR Cone Calorimeter is a professional bench-scale fire testing instrument strictly manufactured to GB/T 16172-2026 and ISO 5660-1 standards. It evaluates the combustion characteristics of building material specimens under controlled thermal radiation environments via the oxygen consumption calorimetry principle.
This tester captures a full set of critical fire performance data, including heat release rate, time to ignition, critical ignition heat flux, mass loss rate, smoke release rate, effective combustion heat, and toxic gas emission (CO/CO₂). These core metrics are widely adopted to assess flame retardancy, fire spread risk, smoke hazard and toxic fume output of construction materials, plastics, textiles, wires, furniture and marine components. Test results support fire safety certification, material R&D and factory quality inspection.
