An intermittent kiln differs from a continuous kiln in that it

  • A.is loaded, fired, cooled and emptied in cycles
  • B.runs at one single temperature at all times
  • C.cannot reach the higher firing temperatures
  • D.requires no fuel or electricity at all to operate

Answer: A

Correct answer: is loaded, fired, cooled and emptied in cycles

An intermittent kiln does one load at a time: it is packed cold, taken up to temperature, cooled and emptied. A continuous kiln holds a steady temperature profile along its length while the ware travels through it, so the zones stay hot indefinitely. The intermittent kiln suits short runs and varied schedules; the continuous kiln suits volume.
