About the Cannon CCS-G6 Cold-Cranking Simulator
The Cannon CCS™-G6 is a fully automated Cold-Cranking Simulator designed for accurate, high-throughput measurement of apparent viscosity in engine oils and lubricants at low temperatures (−40°C to −5°C). It is purpose-built for compliance with ASTM D5293 and SAE J300 standards, making it an essential instrument for automotive lubricant formulation labs, quality control departments, and petroleum testing facilities.
Unlike conventional cold-cranking simulators, the CCS-G6 integrates the chiller, waste pump, and computer into one compact unit — eliminating the need for external equipment and freeing up valuable bench space. Its solvent-free cleaning cycle uses a portion of the next test sample to purge residual fluid, reducing chemical waste and improving operator safety.
With the capacity to load and test up to 14 samples unattended, the CCS-G6 maximises lab throughput while minimising operator intervention. Data can be exported via USB or Ethernet, and FlowHub® software enables centralised data management across multiple instruments from a single workstation.
