Determinations of shrinkage, absorption, and transverse strength were made on a series of clays and clay‐grog bodies fired together. Highly porous grog bodies are obtained with tight burning clays when the latter possess high shrinkage. This is due to the formation of crevices between the clay and grog particles, and to produce a tight grog body the clay must be of low shrinkage and low porosity.
