Pyrometric cones are cone-shaped pieces of ceramic material that have been formulated to bend at a specific temperature. They are used in ceramic kilns to fire the clay pieces to very precise temperatures. This helps to assure consistency in the high temperatures at which clay matures.

How can you measure the temperature in a kiln?

Temperatures in a kiln are generally measured in two ways: by a pyrometer or by a pyrometric cone. Pyrometers are electronic thermometers which read the temperature inside the kiln. Pyrometric cones are pieces of ceramic formulated to bend at specific temperatures in a kiln. Most potters use both methods of measuring temperature because the temperature at which clays and glazes fire is very critical.

What is a ceramic pyramid to time temperatures in kiln?

A ceramic pyramid is a small clay structure used in pottery kilns to help monitor and regulate the temperature during firing. As the kiln heats up, the pyramid softens and bends at specific temperatures, indicating to the potter where the kiln is in terms of temperature. This helps ensure that the pottery pieces are fired evenly and properly.
