Digital Pyrometers - Reads Kiln Temperature

pyrometer temperature gauge for kilns pyrometer temperature gauge for kilns Pyrometer with standard thermocouple wire pictured on left.
Pyrometer with heavy duty thermocouple pictured on right.
Heavy duty thermocouple is a good thing although it does not have as fast of a response time which is usually not a big deal for us glass workers. 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!  Thermocouple wire included. Battery included. Do not let the thermocouple wire touch a live heating element wire.  Pyrometer includes a 36" long thermocouple.

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.


Analog 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.

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.
