The influence of various kiln atmospheres, including 10% CO + 90% N 2 , CO 2 , O 2 , N 2 , air, and steam, on unglazed bodies of vitreous china, and also on calcareous and other types of earthenware has been investigated in regard to (1) sorption isotherms for water vapor, and (2) elongation and increase of weight when treated with steam at 354°F. for 1 hour in an autoclave. The different kiln atmospheres were found to exert notable effects on these characteristics of the fired ware.
