°F/°C Temperature Conversion Formula
Below are formulas for converting temperture between °F
and °C. Converting a firing rate requires a different formula
than firing temperature:
Firing Temperature
(i.e. “Fire to 1600°F.” 1600°F = 871°C)
(°C x 1.8) +32 = °F
(°F - 32) ÷ 1.8 = °C
Firing Rate and Temperature Change
(i.e. “Fire at 200°F per hour” or “Fire 200°F hotter.”
200°F = 111°C)
°C x 1.8 = °F
°F ÷ 1.8 = °C
