Pyramidal ceramic specimen whose slump is proportional to the temperature reached in the kiln
Four Seger cones after use
Pyrometric cones are pyrometric devices that are used to gauge heatwork during the firing of ceramic materials in a kiln. The cones, often used in sets of three, are positioned in a kiln with the wares to be fired and, because the individual cones in a set soften and fall over at different temperatures, they provide a visual indication of when the wares have reached a required state of maturity, a combination of time and temperature.
Pyrometric cones give a temperature equivalent; they are not simple temperature-measuring devices. They were especially important historically, before devices for measuring actual kiln temperatures had been developed.
