DSHR - Drying Shrinkage Test

Specify the % water content. This is normally based on plastic length, thus to calculate:

( plastic size - dry size ) / plastic size * 100

It is easiest to make bars with a 100mm mark. Then the shrinkage is just 100 minus the dry measurement.

For a comprehensive test to measure shrinkage and porosity, see the SHAB test.

Variables

VAL - Value (V)

Specify the % shrinkage from wet

During drying, clay particles draw together and shrinkage occurs. During firing the matrix densifies and shrinkage continues. More vitreous bodies shrink more.
