clay lover Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I have replaced the thermocouple several times in the 8 years I have had my Skutt 1027. this last replacement, the kiln fired about 1/2 cone cooler. Never happened before. (Elements and relays are fairly new, a few firings on them. ) Any ideas why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 The calibration can be different for every thermocouple. Check it with cones, then you can adjust it with a cone offset for that cone, or a thermocouple offset if it's off at all temperatures. Or try a different thermocouple.

clay lover Posted November 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 When you say check it with cones,I think I did that. The cones in for the first firing with this new TC were one 5,the firing schedule I use normally gives me cone six. I need to run a glaze load tomorrow morning. I'm guessing and adding 10* to the peak temp with the same firing rate. I've got cones in, we will see. The 1/2 cone cooler left several of my glazes blah.
