Temperature controller
Ferro Corporation

In the manufacture of ceramic products, few things are as critical as accurate control of the firing process. After all, the results have a direct effect on the quality - and the costs - of the final product.

Optimal firing control requires both accurate measurement of the heat treatment - the temperature and its effect over time - together with the ability to control the temperature and the uniformity of its distribution throughout the kiln.Effective temperature measurement is the key to guaranteed product quality.

Most conventional temperature measurement techniques are limited both in time and in location. For example, the thermocouples generally used in the ceramic industry do not measure the temperature of the product itself, but that of its vicinity. They are also limited to measuring radiated heat, and take no account
of heat transferred from kiln furniture.
