Kiln venting system

Kilns vents are hoods with an exhaust fan that are suspended above an electric kiln. They suck air from around the kiln and expel it through a hose to the outside. Some vents also suck air through a hole in the bottom of a kiln. Vents are intended to remove all harmful kiln fumes from the room.
Kiln vents also have other benefits. They help make for better temperature uniformity at low temperatures giving firings an even start. Below red heat the only way to get heat to move around in the kiln is to move the air (above red heat, the dominant way heat moves is by radiation). They also give better atmospheric uniformity. Continuously bringing in fresh air and expelling products of decomposition makes for more consistency from firing to firing.

• Login to a private account or work with others in a group account (e.g. university).
• Nothing to install (access it using your web browser). It is always the latest version.
• Easy to import your existing data.
• As many side-by-side recipes as you want.
• Many ways to search and classify glaze and body recipes.
• Glaze and body recipes are robust, with units-of-measure, unlimited pictures with individual titles and descriptions.
• Add variations to a recipe; each with its own pictures, descriptions and name/code-number extensions.
• Recipes can link to typecodes, projects and firing schedules (all managed in their own areas).
• Standard reports and mix ticket reports with last-minute-totalling; variations report as if they are a complete recipe.
• Video tutorials, help system, contact form on every page, dedicated messaging and support ticket systems.
• It is an industrial-strength database system (unlimited capacity, fast, reliable, scalable).

Imports many file formats

• Glaze recipe formats supported: HyperGlaze, GlazeGhem, GlazeMaster, Matrix, INSIGHT XML recipes (single and multiple), INSIGHT SQLite DB files.
• Assign a batch number to imports, and later search by batch.
• Assign multiple typecodes to imported glaze and body batches (to classify) and search on these later.
• Prepend character sequences to glaze recipe names during import.
• Import the pictures and pair them to their corresponding records automatically.
• One click to automatically export the database to an SQLite DB database file and download it (for use with desktop INSIGHT or just as a backup).
• Export and import individual glaze recipes as text or XML.
