Orton Mini Pyrometric Cones
Small Cones are commonly used in the Kiln-Sitter. The tapered shape allows some flexibility to adjust shut-off by placing the thinner or thicker portion of the cone under the sensing rod.
Small Cones can also be used on the kiln shelf as miniature witness cones when space is limited.

Orton Standard Pyrometric Cones
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...
