In series 5 (4 to dust grog)there was no relation between porosity and modulus of , for bodies containing grog of different sizes, porosity maygive entirely wrong indications of strength. The surface factor, however, does afford an accurate means ofjudging the strength of such bodies. In Figs. 27 and 28 surfacefactor of the grog portion of the bodies is plotted against modulusof rupture. The curves are straight lines except that some are of Size of Grog in Fire-Clay Bodies 29 parabolic form in the lower part; that is, for larger grog relation holds for all the series at all three heat is more exact in series 1 to 4 than in series 5 to 7, because thelatter contain comparatively large particles which are not dissolvedby the clay to anywhere near the same extent as are the smallparticles.
