Ceramic Firing Temperature Chart

The temperature equivalent range is approximately 2175 2345f 1180 to 1340c.

Ceramic firing temperature chart.

If fired at too low a temperature the glaze will not mature. This means that it must be baked in a special furnace called a kiln to a minimum temperature of about 1112 f. A common temperature range for industrial ceramics. Cone temperature conversion chart.

Bodies shrinks suddenly at 220ºc. For a bisque firing there will be no soak and the ramp the increase in which the kiln s temperature is changing should be very slow. For mid range material a kiln should be firing at a temperature between 2124 and 2264 1162 1240. Each ceramic glaze should be fired to a specific temperature range.

Cone 10 13 range 2381 2455 f 1305 1346 c. Fast cooling at this temperature causes ware to crack. Temperature equivalent chart for orton cones cone 022 14 pyrometric cones have been used to monitor ceramic firings for more than 100 years. The ramp rate is usually measured in degrees per hour.

Here is the orton cone temperature chart. To become hard and glass like clay must be fired. Pottery and ceramic firing chart fact 1. They are useful in determining when a firing is complete if the kiln provided enough heat if there was a temperature difference in the kiln or if a problem occured during the firing.

Mid fire earthenware should be fired between cone 2 and cone 7. 13 to 42 used for firing industrial products up to 3659f 2015c. The ware is returned to the kiln for a very low temperature firing in order to fuse the overglazes. Water boils and converts to steam at 100ºc.

Ware and glaze types. If the temperature goes too high the glaze will become too melted and run off the surface of the pottery. The firing schedule for bisque firing is extremely important. Download complete orton cone wall chart here.

Stoneware glaze some decals fire to cone 10. All cones mature with time and temperature all temperature equivalents on this chart are based on a 270 f 150 c per hour rate climb using the large cone. Mostly yellow with a hint of orange. This is the most common temperature range for industrial ceramics.

Rates of climb change per firing as do temperature equivalents. A body glaze layer that forms between the clay body and glaze. Kiln firing chart temperature c f 1400 2552 1300 2372 1200 2192 1100 2012 1000 1832 900 0111652 800 1472. Trapped water causes clay to explode so keep the kiln below 100ºc until all water has evaporated.
