Orton | SSB022
Self Supporting Pyrometric Cone 022
Cone 022 in Orton's self supporting series. It stands on the shelf on its own moulded base, so there is no plaque to set and no mounting height to get wrong, and its bend after the firing shows whether the ware reached cone 022.

This is Cone 022 in Orton's self supporting SSB series. Orton lists it bending at 586°C (1087°F) at 60°C an hour and 590°C (1094°F) at 150°C an hour, measured over the last 100°C of the firing. There is no 15°C an hour figure at this number, so only those two rates apply. A cone responds to time and temperature together, not temperature alone, so the rate the kiln is climbing at decides which of those numbers applies. The base is moulded into the cone, so it stands on the kiln shelf straight from the box with no plaque or wire holder, and the height and 8 degree lean are set at the factory. That makes it the usual choice for witness cones and test firings. Orton lists cones in this part of the range for overglaze decoration, lustres, enamels and decals, and for fusing, slumping and decorating glass. It has finished bending when the tip is level with the base.
