Pyrometric Products such as cones and shrinkage products can be used to measure temperature differences within the firing zone of the kiln. These products change with heatwork in a manner analogous to the product; therefore they are good indicators of the amount of heat available to properly mature the product.

Orton products can also help your company with Quality Control.
