This tool applies a standard formula from the relevant domain. The computation is deterministic — given the same inputs, the result is always identical. The formula accounts for the primary variables that determine the output.
Bend angle ° ≈ (Actual temp − Cone temp) × SensitivityThe calculation requires: Actual Peak Temp, Target Cone Temp, Bend Sensitivity. Each parameter contributes to the final result according to the formula above. Accuracy depends on the precision of your input measurements.

Check the expected unit for each input field (shown as suffix). Converting between imperial and metric units before entering values prevents calculation errors.
When a formula combines multiple measurements, all inputs must use compatible units. Convert everything to the same system (metric or imperial) before calculating.
Estimate witness cone bend angle from temperature overshoot or undershoot. Free orton cone bend equivalent tool for orton, cone, and more. It applies the calculation formula (Bend angle ° ≈ (Actual temp − Cone temp) × Sensitivity). For example: cone 6 target, fired 1235°c — A typical use case demonstrating the calculator with representative values.
