Lithium Battery Fire Testing Equipment
ToronFT™ Lithium Battery Fire Testing Equipment series by Torontech offers a complete, integrated platform for evaluating the fire safety, thermal behavior, and hazard characteristics of lithium-ion and lithium polymer battery systems. As energy storage technology advances and batteries are deployed in increasingly demanding environments, the need for rigorous, standards-compliant fire and safety testing has never been greater.
Torontech's battery fire testing instruments span the full lifecycle of risk evaluation — from cell-level thermal runaway characterization and accelerating rate calorimetry to large-format pack-level heat release rate (HRR) testing and enclosure-level safety assessments. The series also includes environmental simulation chambers for altitude, pressure, and temperature extremes, as well as mechanical abuse testers for drop, vibration, crush, and nail penetration scenarios.
Trusted by battery manufacturers, aviation authorities, and safety testing labs globally, the ToronFT™ battery fire testing platform enables organizations to meet UN 38.3, IEC 62133, UL 9540A, and other critical international standards with confidence.

| 4 | Battery Thermal Characterization System | Characterizes thermal properties — including heat generation, heat capacity, and conductivity — of battery cells and materials across a range of temperatures to support thermal management design. |
| 5 | Vapor and Gas Flammability Limit Tester | Determines the lower and upper flammability limits (LFL/UFL) of gases and vapors vented during battery thermal events, supporting hazard zone classification and ventilation system design. |
| 6 | Thermal Runaway Gas Burning Speed Tester | Measures the laminar and turbulent burning velocity of gas mixtures produced during lithium battery thermal runaway, providing data critical for explosion risk modeling and safety standard compliance. |
| 7 | Battery Thermal Runaway Tester | Triggers and characterizes thermal runaway events in battery cells or modules via heating, overcharge, or short-circuit abuse, measuring temperature propagation, gas venting, and energy release. |
| 8 | Battery Adiabatic Accelerating Rate Calorimeter | Performs adiabatic calorimetry on battery samples to measure self-heating onset temperature, heat generation rate, and thermal runaway severity under fully adiabatic conditions. |
| 9 | Battery Enclosure Thermal Runaway Tester (BETR) | Evaluates the ability of battery enclosures and housings to contain thermal runaway events, prevent fire spread to adjacent cells, and limit hazardous gas release to safe levels. |
| 10 | Cell Thermal Runaway Pressure Tester | Provides a sealed, instrumented pressure vessel environment for triggering and monitoring thermal runaway in individual cells, enabling precise gas pressure, temperature, and vent behavior analysis. |
| 11 | High-Altitude Low-Pressure Test Chamber | Simulates high-altitude low-pressure environments to assess battery electrical performance, safety behavior, and seal integrity under reduced atmospheric pressure conditions per UN 38.3 T1. |
| 12 | Dynamic Pressure & Variable Temp Test Chamber | Applies dynamically controlled pressure profiles combined with programmable temperature cycling to battery samples, replicating ascent/descent profiles and thermal stress conditions in service. |
| 13 | Altitude Test Chamber | Evaluates battery charge/discharge performance, thermal regulation, and safety responses under high-altitude low-pressure conditions while maintaining full electrical test capabilities. |
| 14 | Large Multi-Altitude Environment Tunnel System | Provides a walk-in tunnel environment for large battery packs or systems, simulating a range of altitude and pressure conditions for full system-level safety and performance validation. |
