By accessing or using our website, you agree to comply with and be bound by the following Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use our site.
1. Editorial Independence and Equipment Reviews
All reviews, kiln benchmark measurements, wheel motor torque ratings, and glaze formulation analyses published on threetceramics.com represent the honest opinions, findings, and technical test results of our studio editorial team. We purchase retail equipment and materials directly through standard commercial suppliers and do not accept paid placements, free evaluation units with editorial conditions, or sponsored ranking positions. While we strive to maintain comprehensive and current technical data, product specifications, availability, and pricing are subject to manufacturer changes without notice.
2. Affiliate Relationships and Disclaimers
threetceramics.com participates in affiliate marketing programs, including the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. This means we may earn an affiliate commission on qualifying purchases made through links on our site, at no additional cost to you. Our commercial affiliate relationships never influence our empirical testing methodologies, scoring rubrics, or editorial verdicts. For complete details, please review our Affiliate Disclosure.
3. Accuracy of Workshop and Pyrometric Measurements
Our benchmark measurements – including kiln controller firing curves, pyrometric cone heat-work verification, wheel centering capacity under load, and glaze thermal expansion tolerances – are conducted in controlled studio workshop settings using calibrated thermal couples and digital instruments. However, individual studio results may vary based on local electrical line voltage, kiln density, atmospheric ventilation, and clay moisture content. Content on threetceramics.com is provided for informational and educational purposes only.
