Are there charts that convert cones to degrees and times for digital kilns?

If you specialize in jewelry or glass beads, you may enjoy making ceramic jewelry for a change. Clay and ceramic glazes are very inexpensive compared to silver and glass, and the results can be stunning. Cone-Fire mode is included with ceramic kiln digital controllers but usually not with glass and jewelry kiln controllers. But you can still fire to a pyrometric cone with a glass or jewelry kiln by programming the segments listed below. You will find the recommended cone number on the glaze or clay package, or you can get this information from your ceramic supplier. The cones listed below go from the coolest to the hottest. As you can see, the cone numbering system is confusing. 022 is cooler than 10, yet 022 is a higher number. It helps to mentally replace the “0” with “-”. Most people find it easier to figure –22 rather than 022 as cooler than cone 10. (The coolest original cone was cone 1. Later, “0” was placed in front of cone numbers to designate cones cooler than cone 1.) To fire faster or slower than the segments I’ve included here, change the rates by 10 – 20 percent. However, the rate for the last segment should always be 108 degrees F. Do not attempt to fire a cone that is hotter than the maximum temperature listed on your kiln’s electrical data plate. (You will find the plate on the side of the switch box or on the back of the kiln.) PROGRAMMING PYROMETRIC CONES TEMPERATURES: Degrees F
