A series of artware and sanitary‐ware slips was tested using the vibrating‐plate viscometer. Results obtained with this instrument are in the form of “casting curves” that depict slip consistency as a function of time during the casting operation. Various features of the casting curves are compared with data obtained by more conventional test procedures. Correlations are found between casting‐curve parameters and such factors as initial slip fluidity, casting rate, retained water, and quality of finished cast. The physical significance of certain aspects of the casting curves is discussed.
