A method of accurately determining the tensile strength of porcelain has been developed. The ratio of tensile to compression strength was found to be 5.9 for the special porcelain studied. Triaxial porcelains gave an average ratio of 7.66. The tensile strength tests show in general a little more variation than compression strength tests. The tensile strength is of more significance in judging the quality of porcelain than it has been commonly considered.
