Pyrometric cones are slender pyramids made from about 100 carefully controlled compositions. Each cone number is unique in measuring temperature within a small temperature range (less than 30°C). Cones measure the amount of heat absorbed. As the cone nears its maturing range, it softens and the tip begins to bend, drawn down by the influence of gravity. Standard cone heating rate °C per...

Circular Kiln Shelves For kilns. The lifespan of a kiln shelf depends mainly on the distance between the top edge of the item to be fired and the underside of the kiln shelf above. Generally there should be a distance of at least 25mm. * Please note all new batts should be separated and dried slowing over several hours. Do not exceed 1100 degrees C until completely dry.

Pottery Plaster is a good general purpose plaster for pottery moulds. Primarily used to produce working moulds for the slip casting of sanitaryware, tableware or refractory castings. It can also be used for the production of working moulds for jiggering in Tableware. Pottery has good absorption capability, taking the moisture from the clay slip effectively.

These decorating slips, are suitable for use on both Earthernware and Stoneware bodies. When manufacturing our slips we believe in using high percentages of stain to give strong, vivid colours throughout the range. The slip can be applied to leather hard clay with brushes, sponges or slip trailers. After biscuit firing the pots should be glazed with a suitable transparent glaze which will further enhance...

White Velvet Underglaze is a snow white color that is bright and minty at cone 05, softens at cone 5, and becomes slightly warmer at cone 10, while maintaining a clean white color. A clear glaze accentuates the underglaze at any temperature. Safety Warning Tableware producers must test all finished ware to establish dinnerware status, due to possible variations in firing temperature and contamination. AMACO...
