| CERAMIC GLAZES ANALYSIS |
|
| GRAIN SIZE DISTRIBUTION |
|
The analysis, carried out with the Malvern instrument, is very useful to define the distribution of particle size for raw materials or suspensions.

THERMAL ANALYSIS
|
|
With the heating microscope we can define the characteristic temperatures of glazes (sintering, sosfeting, sphere, half sphere, melting point)
|
| THERMAL EXPANSION TEST (heating 5 °C/min) |
|
The dilatometer provides the percentage of thermal expansion and the dilatometric coefficient of ceramic materials during the firing phase . It is very interesting in valuating the matching between glaze and body.
|
| COLORIMETRIC TEST |
This test is used to define, on a fired glaze, the ΔL value (brightness), the Δa value (if , compared to a target, the glaze is more similar to red or green),the Δb value (if the glaze is more similar to blue or yellow).
