The Sinuo SN1115C Standardized Cookware Test Pot is specially designed for laboratory testing of induction cookers and other electromagnetic cooking appliances in accordance with the dimensional and construction requirements of EN 60350-2:2018.

Unlike ordinary commercial cookware, this test pot is manufactured with controlled materials, bottom thickness, lid geometry, hole arrangement and dimensional tolerances to provide a repeatable test load for energy efficiency and performance evaluation.

The standardized cookware consists of a precision stainless-steel cooking vessel, an aluminum test lid and a central temperature-sensor fixture. Multiple cookware sizes are available to correspond with different induction cooking-zone categories.

This makes it suitable for induction cooker manufacturers, appliance testing laboratories, energy-efficiency laboratories, certification organizations and R&D departments requiring standardized test cookware for comparative and repeatable measurements.

The cookware configuration is developed around the standardized cookware requirements specified in EN 60350-2:2018, making it suitable for standardized testing of electromagnetic cooking appliances.

The cookware bottom uses 1.4016 stainless steel, while the side wall is manufactured from 1.4301 stainless steel. The controlled material selection and dimensional structure help maintain consistent thermal characteristics during laboratory testing.

A dedicated fixture is positioned at the center of the cookware lid to accommodate the temperature sensor. This arrangement supports temperature measurement during induction heating and helps laboratories establish repeatable test conditions.

The lid is manufactured from aluminum with evenly distributed sensor/opening holes around the specified hole circle. Different cookware sizes use corresponding hole-circle diameters and hole quantities according to the standardized configuration.

The SN1115C series covers cookware bottom diameters from 120 mm to 330 mm, allowing the test setup to accommodate different induction cooking-zone size categories.

The standardized cookware can be incorporated into induction cooker energy efficiency testing systems, laboratory performance evaluation setups and appliance compliance testing workflows.

* Actual lid thickness may be 2 ± 0.1 mm depending on the national-standard raw material used.

Note: For the 270 mm, 300 mm and 330 mm cookware configurations, the lid openings are arranged on two concentric hole circles.

The standardized test vessel uses two stainless-steel materials:

• Bottom: 1.4016 stainless steel
• Side wall: 1.4301 stainless steel
• Bottom thickness: 6 ± 0.05 mm
• Wall thickness: 1 ± 0.05 mm

The bottom is designed without an outward protrusion, while the side wall is manufactured without a handle or protruding cylinder, providing a controlled geometry for standardized laboratory testing.

The aluminum lid is manufactured according to the specified dimensional configuration. Each opening has a nominal diameter of 16 mm, with the holes evenly distributed around the designated hole circle. Larger cookware sizes may use two hole circles to achieve the required opening arrangement.

A dedicated plastic fixture is installed at the center of the lid for positioning the temperature sensor. This design allows the temperature measurement point to remain consistently positioned during the induction cooker test, helping improve test repeatability and measurement consistency.

The EN 60350-2 standardized cookware is primarily intended for testing induction cookers and electromagnetic cooking appliances. Typical applications include:

Used as a standardized thermal load during laboratory evaluation of induction cooker energy performance.

Suitable for comparative testing of different induction cooker models under controlled cookware conditions.

Manufacturers can use standardized test cookware during prototype development, performance optimization and internal verification.

Suitable for laboratories performing standardized testing for household cooking appliances.

Can be integrated into a broader household appliance energy efficiency testing system together with temperature measurement and electrical power measurement equipment.
