Commercial fire‐clay tiles, were tested at furnace temperatures, for transverse strength. This was supplemented by tests of tiles of known composition made in the laboratory. Moduli of rupture obtained varied from 245.5 pounds per square inch at 1275°C, to 28.9 pounds per square inch at 1350°C but the data collected do not warrant definite conclusions.
