Marc McMillan Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 My wife did a pretty spectacular job at breaking my pyrometer. When she came back from the garage 3 seconds after leaving with it I had to ask "did you run it over with the car?" Anyways, I want to ask for brands you have been happy with. I do mainly saggar firing with it. Thank you for your input. Best Regards, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babs Posted June 16, 2014 Report Share Posted June 16, 2014 Question did you leave it her pathway?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc McMillan Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Thanks for the recommendation. And babs...I left it outside so she said it was my fault since she had to put it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babs Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Obviously careless Marc! A pyrometer outside! WE have thermometers for that jobbie! SO it's your fault SHeath broken or wire broken or is it the actual meter that's been smashed? I still fire with a thermocouple which has no sheath. A careless potter, hmm, smashed the procelain sheath on removing a shelf, the wires still intact so yours may be salvageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denice Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 I bought the dual Skutt digital pryometer about 5 years ago it's been great, you would probably only need the single for saggar firing. Denice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc McMillan Posted June 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Being a married man of 20 years Babs, I of course have to say...you're right. It was my fault. And the meter itself was smashed beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo_heff Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 The Bartlett Hand Held Data Logging Digital is quite decent. I have seem them completely engulfed in flames for extended periods and come out unscathed. What I want it the 2 input thermo to usb interface into a laptop. then you get a graph and and more. Not too expensive w K-type thermo's: again at Omega engineering Ideally it would be that with type S thermos because I am mostly interested in what happens above c6 but then it turns into real money ... goes onto the maybe next year list.

Guest JBaymore Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 Most potters firing to cone 10 (or higher) don't realize how inaccurate Type K is at those temps.... not even rated for that use by ASTM. But yes....... a Type S thermocouple is like buying a wedding ring. best, ....................john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
