HERE'S WHY WITNESS CONES ARE IMPORTANT

We thought it imperative that we share a recent article from Orton Ceramics the maker of "Witness Cones".

Education is an important part of the ceramic industry. In this age of digital readouts, customers sometimes need to be reminded that their electronic controllers control the temperature inside their kiln usually based on a single thermocouple.

Regular use of witness cones will indicate temperature uniformity inside their kiln and assure users that their ceramic ware has been fired according to the manufacturer's specifications.

Pyrometric cones verify they are getting the optimal results from their firings. Cones also help to spot aging thermocouples, aging heating elements and determine the accuracy of automatic controller programs. For more information on witness cone imporatance, click here.
