Round or square fired bars are subject to a force that tests their tensile strength. The strength can be calculated from the force and the dimensions of the cross section where the break occurred.

Fired Strength
Ceramics, by their brittle nature, have high compressive strength and unsurpassed surface hardness. Maximum fired strength can come at the expense of various working and fired properties, so testing is needed to reach a balance. |
