About Orton Pyrometric Cone 05 - Box of 25

The Orton Pyrometric Cone 05 - Box of 25 contains 25 ceramic cones specifically designed to measure heatwork within a kiln at Cone 05, which corresponds to a firing temperature of approximately 1,037°C (1,899°F). These cones are commonly used for low-fire ceramics, such as earthenware, low-fire glazes, and underglazes. Made from a specially formulated ceramic material, each cone bends and melts at a specific point when it has absorbed the correct amount of heat, allowing ceramists to accurately determine when their work has reached the desired firing temperature. With 25 cones in the box, this product offers ample supply for multiple firings, making it ideal for studios or schools that conduct frequent low-fire firings.

The Pyrometric Cones are an essential tool for ensuring consistency and quality during the firing process. As they provide a visual indication of when the correct temperature and time have been reached, they help to avoid issues like under-firing or over-firing, which can result in defects in the ceramic pieces. The Orton Pyrometric Cone 05 is particularly helpful for artists and potters who need precise control over the firing process, ensuring that their glazes and clays mature correctly. With a full box of 25, users are well-equipped to monitor their kiln’s performance across numerous firings, ensuring reliable and repeatable results.
