These cones are commonly used in the Dawson Kiln -Sitter. The tapered shape allows some flexibility to adjust the shut off point by placing the thinner or thicker portion of the sensing rod. Small Cones can also be used on the kiln shelf as mini witness cones where space is limited. Require mounting in cone holders or plaques at an angle so 15/16 in. of the cone is exposed above the cone holder. Small (Junior) Cones deform at slightly higher temperatures than large or self-supporting cones of the same number.
