Specimens of an earthenware body fired at three temperatures were placed over a 10% sulphuric acid solution for 36 days and the gain in weight determined. Up to a certain limit of porosity the absorption is proportional to the porosity, but the body with the highest absorption, 20.25% took up a relatively higher amount of water. With an absorption of 8.81%, the maximum amount of water vapor taken up was 0.13%. With 10.8% absorption the water vapor taken up was 0.16 and with 20.25% absorption it reached 0.54%.
