Pyrometric products

QUESTION: What is a pyrometric cone and how is it used in ceramics?

ANSWER: A pyrometric cone is a device made of ceramic material that is used to measure the heatwork (temperature and time) in a kiln during a firing cycle.

QUESTION: How do pyrometric cones differ from electronic temperature controllers in kilns?

ANSWER: Pyrometric cones provide a visual and physical indication of heatwork in the kiln, while electronic temperature controllers measure and regulate the temperature of the kiln based on preset parameters.

QUESTION: What is the purpose of a pyrometric chart in ceramics?

ANSWER: A pyrometric chart is a reference tool that shows the relationship between the temperature recorded by pyrometric cones and the heatwork achieved in the kiln.
