How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the cone number you want to convert — use negative values for low-fire cones (e.g., -6 for cone 06).
- Select the kiln atmosphere: 1 for oxidation (electric kilns) or 2 for reduction (gas kilns).
- Read the resulting temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.
- Note the nearest standard cone if your input falls between published cone values.
- Use the temperature output to set your kiln controller or compare with pyrometer readings.
