Ceramics & Clay Chemistry Calculators

Ceramics & Pottery Calculators

Formulate high-precision pottery glazes, map pyrometric kiln heat-work cone targets, optimize clay shrinkages, calculate specific gravities of slips, and adjust thermal expansion fit variables to eliminate structural cracking.

Kiln Cones & Temp

Map Orton pyrometric cone numbers to Celsius and Fahrenheit heat-work equivalents under slow or fast heating rates.

Cone Selection

Orton cones measure Heat-Work. A slower firing allows the clay or glaze to melt at a lower final peak temperature.

Ceramic Lab Analysis

Glaze & Clay Lab
Peak Firing Temp (°C)1223°C
Peak Firing Temp (°F)2233°F
Heat-Work Information
Cone StandardCone 6
ClassificationMid-Range / Stoneware
Heat Rate Context150°C / hr (270°F/hr) fast heating

Disclaimer: Orton cone bending is highly dependent on atmosphere (reduction vs oxidation) and heat soaking duration at high heat peak.
