Pyrometers

Reads the temperature of a kiln. Simply place the wire thermocouple wire into the kiln to read the temperature. The end of the wire should be at least 1" into the kiln. Do not let the thermocouple wire touch a live heating element wire. Does not require electricity. The insulation at the end of the thermocouple wire that is inside the kiln will burn away. It will not affect performance. Pyrometer include a thermocouple.

Large Face Pyrometer

Order #	Description	Price
PA1	Pyrometer - large face gauge - with 1033 thermocouple	$69
PA1B	Pyrometer bracket - Optional	$12
1033	Replacement thermocouple - Ceramic Tip - 36"	$19

Manufactures Limited Warranty is one year for manufacture defects - not durability or abuse. Thermocouples are never warranted

Digital Pyrometer

Very accurate. These Digital Pyrometers are much more accurate than the above Analog PA1 pyrometers. It is important to set your kiln to the proper temperature for annealing! Although the thin thermocouple wire probe on these Digitals are more sensitive to burn out then the heavier PA1 Analog thermocouple probe. Thermocouple wire included. Reads up to 1000 degrees C (1832 degrees F). Requires batteries. Do not let the thermocouple wire touch a live heating element wire. The covering and insulation at the end of the thermocouple wire that is inside the kiln will burn away. It will not affect performance. Pyrometer includes a 36" long thermocouple.

This is also a Multi-Meter! Measures voltage, current and resistance!

The tip of the thermocouple wire may eventually break. There are two wires in the thermocouple welded at the end. Carefully inspect to see if the two wires are disconnected. If it is disconnected, either:
Order a replacement thermocouple, or If you have the ability and the equipment, weld the ends together with your torch.
It's a little tricky because of the wire is small.

 

Installing your pyrometer

If you want your pyrometer somewhere else next to your kiln, simply drill a small hole through the soft fire brick for your thermocouple wire. Remember, your pyrometer is going to read the temperature where the tip of the thermocouple wire is, so put it close to where you glass will be.
