"C5DHSC" Firing Schedule
Plainsman Cone 5 Drop-and-Hold Slow-Cool
This is modelled after the C6DHSC firing schedule. Please read its notes to understand the logic.
| Step | °C | °F | Hold | Time | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 60°C/hr to 104C | 108°F/hr to 220F | 60min | 2:20 | |
| 2 | 194°C/hr to 1128C | 350°F/hr to 2063F | 10min | 7:46 | |
| 3 | 60°C/hr to 1183C | 108°F/hr to 2163F | 10min | 8:52 | |
| 4 | 500°C/hr to 1128C | 900°F/hr to 2063F | 30min | 9:28 | |
| 5 | 83°C/hr to 760C | 150°F/hr to 1400F | 13:53 |
Start temperature assumed: 25°C or 75°F
"Fahrenheit degrees" is not the same as "degrees Fahrenheit". A 100° reading on a Fahrenheit thermometer is equal to a 37° reading on a Celcius thermometer. But "100 Fahrenheit degrees of temperature change" is equivalent "55 Celsius degrees of change". That is an important distinction to understand the above temperature conversions.
