"C5DHSC" Firing Schedule

Plainsman Cone 5 Drop-and-Hold Slow-Cool

This is modelled after the C6DHSC firing schedule. Please read its notes to understand the logic.

Step	°C	°F	Hold	Time
1	60°C/hr to 104C	108°F/hr to 220F	60min	2:20
2	194°C/hr to 1128C	350°F/hr to 2063F	10min	7:46
3	60°C/hr to 1183C	108°F/hr to 2163F	10min	8:52
4	500°C/hr to 1128C	900°F/hr to 2063F	30min	9:28
5	83°C/hr to 760C	150°F/hr to 1400F		13:53

Start temperature assumed: 25°C or 75°F
"Fahrenheit degrees" is not the same as "degrees Fahrenheit". A 100° reading on a Fahrenheit thermometer is equal to a 37° reading on a Celcius thermometer. But "100 Fahrenheit degrees of temperature change" is equivalent "55 Celsius degrees of change". That is an important distinction to understand the above temperature conversions.
