Ceramic Measurement Conversions
Ceramic recipes, kiln specifications, and studio measurements exist in a mix of metric and imperial units depending on country of origin. A UK kiln spec gives volume in liters; a US recipe lists materials in pounds; a Japanese formula uses grams. This converter handles all four categories relevant to ceramics: length, weight, temperature, and volume.
Common Conversion Reference
| From | To | Factor |
|---|---|---|
| 1 inch | Millimeters | 25.4 mm |
| 1 pound | Grams | 453.6 g |
| 1000°F | Celsius | 537.8°C |
| 1 US gallon | Liters | 3.785 L |
| Cone 6 (1222°C) | Fahrenheit | 2232°F |
Temperature and Ceramics
Temperature conversion is especially important when working with kilns from different countries or following recipes written for different markets. Note that Celsius is the standard in most ceramic literature worldwide, with the US being the main exception. Cone temperature equivalents are given in both scales in the Cone Temperature Calculator.
Method & review note
About this calculation
Uses standard geometry or unit conversion. Handmade forms and named sieve standards should be physically verified when tolerances matter.
