The pyrometric cone is "A pyramid with a triangular base and of a defined shape and size; the "cone" is shaped from a carefully proportioned and uniformly mixed batch of ceramic materials so that when it is heated under stated conditions, it will bend due to softening, the tip of the cone becoming level with the base at a definitive temperature.
Pyrometric devices gauge heatwork (the combined effect of both time and temperature) when firing materials inside a kiln. Pyrometric devices do not measure temperature, but can report temperature equivalents. In principle, a pyrometric device relates the amount of heat work on ware to a measurable shrinkage or deformation of a regular shape.
Pyrometric cones Hermann Seger (1832–1893) was a German ceramicist who is widely credited with pioneering the development of the pyrometric cone , which enabled the rapid growth of the ceramic industry around the turn of the century.

Refractoriness is the property of a refractory's multiphase to reach a specific softening degree at high temperature without load, and is measured with a pyrometric cone equivalent (PCE) test. Refractories are classified as: [2] Super duty: PCE value of 33–38; High duty: PCE value of 30–33; Intermediate duty: PCE value of 28–30
Orton developed a series of pyrometric cones and established the Standard Pyrometric Cone Company to manufacture the cones, which continue to be used. He died in 1932, and in accordance with his will the Edward Orton Jr. Ceramic Foundation was formed as a charitable trust to operate of the Standard Pyrometric Cone Company. [8]

English: This PDF displays the movements of the internal Conus docking cones within the Mir core module's forward docking hub over the lifetime of the station. Most Conus movements were made by cosmonauts during internal EVAs lasting approximately 20 minutes, as the Conus placement required removing one of four outer hatches exposing the pressurised hub to the vacuum of space.
