Co-efficient of Linear Expansion
In ceramics, glazes expand with increasing temperature. Being brittle materials, they must be expansion-compatible with the body they are on. |

Sieve Analysis 35-325 Wet
SIEV particle size distribution test to evaluate and compare the particle size profiles of ceramic material powders |
Tests |
Cold Over Boiled Porosity
Use this test to determine if your fired clay can withstand freeze-thaw and thus be suitable for outdoor use in colder climates. |

Drying Factor
The DFAC Drying Factor test visually displays a plastic clay's response to very uneven drying. The test is extreme enough that almost all plastic clays will crack. |
