Hello, everyone. Just a little question. I've always assumed that when you all talk about cone 6/10/choose-your-number you mean Orton cones. It suddenly dawned on me you might be using a different scale I'm not familiar with. Could someone take a minute to clear this up for me? TIA.

Patty try the following web sites.

http://www.ortonceramic.com

Also if that site gives you trouble try the good people at Brackers.

http://www.brackers.com/catalog/kilnaccess/cones.html#Equivalent

Hope this helps. Les H.

Yes, they are Orton cones.

Paragon's website (www.paragonweb.com) includes a Manuals download
page. If you download the Sentry manual, you will have Orton cone
charts in both deg. F & C. The charts also include the color of
each cone as it appears before the cone is fired.

Thanks to all who replied.

However, I'm confused because I've received opposed replies. Arnold, you
tell me I should read those cone references as Orton, and another Clayarter
told me by private email I should understand them as Seger. These two cones
have different temperature scales. So, for example, if somebody says they
use a Cone 6 glaze, am I to understand they fire it at 1190=BAC/2174=BAF or =
at
1230=BAC/2246=BAF?

Thanks in advance again.

Pat
