  • The number of this cone is 018 which bends at an approximate temperature of 1323° F, depending on firing conditions.
  • Pyrometric SSB018 Cones are used on a shelf inside a kiln or in a kiln sitter to determine when a firing is complete, if the kiln provided enough heat or if there was a problem during the firing.
  • Orton cones are made from carefully controlled compositions so that they bend in a repeatable manner over a very small temperature range.
  • The cone tip sags until it reaches a point level with the base indicating the kiln has properly fired.
  • Cones have been used in ceramic firings for more than 130 years and Orton has the history and experience to provide the very best product.
  • Orton has been manufacturing these cones in the USA since 1896.

Customer Questions & Answers

  • Question: What are self-supporting pyrometric cones used for?

    Answer: Self-supporting pyrometric cones are essential tools used to determine the temperature and heat work within kilns during firing. They provide a visual indicator of how materials behave under heat. Pyrometric cones like CONE 018 are designed to bend at specific temperatures, allowing potters, industrial manufacturers, and hobbyists to gauge the effectiveness of their firing process. Whether you're working with ceramics or metals, using these cones can help ensure your materials reach the desired temperature for optimal results.
  • Question: How do I read the results from the self-supporting pyrometric cones?

    Answer: Reading the results from pyrometric cones is straightforward. As the kiln reaches the target temperature, the cones will begin to bend and eventually warp. Once a cone has reached its softening point, it can be noted that the desired temperature has been achieved. For instance, CONE 018 is designed to bend at a specific point, providing an accurate reading for your firing process. This is crucial for achieving uniform heating in pottery and industrial applications.
  • Question: Can CONE 018 be used in both pottery and industrial kilns?

    Answer: Yes, CONE 018 is versatile and suitable for various applications, including pottery and industrial kilns. Its design allows it to perform reliably across different firing environments, making it an excellent choice for ceramic artists as well as manufacturers. When placed in a kiln, these cones offer crucial insights into how well materials have been fired, ensuring the highest quality products in both fields.
  • Question: What temperatures does CONE 018 correspond to?

    Answer: CONE 018 corresponds to a specific temperature range that is critical for certain types of ceramic and industrial firing processes. Typically, it is designed to bend at a temperature for mid-range firings, allowing users to achieve precise heat control. Knowing the properties of CONE 018 can help artisans and manufacturers select the right cone for their desired firing results and material specifications.
  • Question: How many cones are included in one package of CONE 018?

    Answer: Each package of CONE 018 contains 25 self-supporting pyrometric cones. This quantity allows for multiple firings, making it economical for both hobbyists and professional users. Having several cones on hand ensures that you can monitor multiple projects simultaneously or perform tests over several firing cycles without interruption.
  • Question: Are self-supporting cones better than regular pyrometric cones?

    Answer: Self-supporting cones like CONE 018 have distinct advantages compared to regular pyrometric cones. They are designed to stand upright without extra support during the firing process, ensuring accurate readings and providing reliable temperature indication. This design minimizes the risk of contamination or distortion, allowing for precise monitoring of firing conditions, crucial for achieving desired results in various applications.
  • Question: Can I use CONE 018 for hobby projects other than pottery?

    Answer: Absolutely! While CONE 018 is particularly well-known for its use in pottery, it can also be effectively utilized in various hobby projects involving firing materials. Whether you're working with glass, metal clays, or other ceramics, these cones can provide valuable insight into the thermal behavior of your project. Their versatility makes them a great addition to any creative workspace that involves kiln usage.
  • Question: How do self-supporting cones affect the quality of my firing?

    Answer: Self-supporting cones, including CONE 018, can significantly impact the quality of your firing by providing precise temperature readings. They help ensure that kiln temperatures reach and maintain optimal levels for the materials being fired. Accurate readings prevent issues like underfiring or overfiring, which can compromise the structural integrity of your work and lead to unsatisfactory results.
  • Question: What is the durability of self-supporting pyrometric cones?

    Answer: Self-supporting pyrometric cones are designed to withstand high temperatures during the firing process and maintain their structural integrity until they reach their specific softening point. While they are robust, their durability can vary depending on the firing conditions. Using cones correctly and monitoring their behavior during each firing contributes to successful outcomes, making them a reliable tool for both beginners and professionals alike.
  • Question: Where can I buy Self-Supporting Pyrometric Cones for Accurate Firings in Namibia?

    Answer: You can purchase Self-Supporting Pyrometric Cones, including the CONE 018 package of 25, exclusively at Ubuy in Namibia. Ubuy offers a great selection of pyrometric cones, ensuring that you have access to quality products designed for various firing needs, including pottery and industrial applications.
