Work it out before you order

We would rather you diagnosed the problem properly than bought a part you did not need. These are free, need no sign-up, and run entirely in your browser.

Element Resistance Calculator

Enter voltage and wattage to get target resistance and current draw. Add your multimeter reading to see whether the element is still in spec.

Kiln Element Life Estimator

Estimate where your elements are in their service life from your kiln, firing cone and weekly schedule.

Calculator

Cone Temperature Chart

Orton cone numbers against temperature, and what each one costs you in element life.

The data plate Usually inside the lid or on the control box

Inside the kiln So we can see how the elements run

The old element Next to a tape measure if you have one out

Any one of these gets us started. All three and we can usually quote same day.

A clear shot of the rating plate is usually all we need — you do not have to know the part number.

Make, model and serial (optional)

Only if you have it in front of you. Most people don't, and the photo covers it.

Supply voltage (optional)

Number of elements (optional)

Do you still have the old element? Can you put a multimeter across it?

ohms

Optional, but it is the one number we cannot work out any other way — it verifies everything else. Not sure how?

How often do you fire?

Sets the replacement cycle — elements are measured in firings, not months.

How did you hear about us?

Anything else (optional)

Tell us your firing schedule and we'll flag when you're likely due for a new set.

We reply within one business day. No obligation, no account needed.
