A method for determining the moisture content at which a plastic body becomes elastic is given. Results of tests made on an earthenware body indicate the transition to have taken place at approximately 12.8% water content. With decreased water content of the body the yield values decreased, the deformation per unit stress beyond the yield value pressures decreased, the total deformation at ultimate failure decreased, and the ultimate failure pressures increased.
