Product Description Kiln furniture supports should be selected as part of the loaded kiln arrangement. The support geometry, contact with the ware and position in the stack all matter. A support that fits the space still needs review against the actual load and firing cycle. Show the complete support arrangement Provide a drawing of the support and, where possible, the shelf or workpiece it carries. Mark the number of supports, their spacing, contact areas and the direction of loading. Include any locating recesses, stacking features or clearances needed for loading and unloading. Information from the firing process Workpiece and supported assembly mass, including stacked layers where applicable. Heating, holding and cooling stages, including repeated-cycle use. Furnace atmosphere and any substances that may contact the support. Acceptable distortion, surface marking and replacement criteria. Use a material-specific datasheet and an agreed evaluation plan to judge suitability. Avoid treating a generic cordierite temperature value as a load rating for the finished support. Compare supports on the same basis Send NORKE the geometry, required quantity and service conditions. For a replacement, state why the current support is being changed and include photographs of the contact area. See cordierite sheets and honeycomb panels for different component forms, or request a kiln support review.
Application Geometry: support outline, contact areas, locating and stacking details. Loading: support spacing, workpiece mass and complete stack arrangement. Service: firing cycle, atmosphere, distortion limits and evaluation requirements.
Packaging and Logistics Confirm separation of contact edges and any stacking restrictions for transport. State whether supports need marking by drawing variant or intended kiln position.
