The transmission of pressure in the dry pressing of typical building brick and fire brick mixes as affected by the variation in grog size

Author

Henry Rickel Herron

Abstract

"In the formation of dry pressed ware, the transmission of pressure is of vital importance to the quality and character of the finished product as regards the resistance to spalling, load at high temperatures, slag action, abrasion and other physical properties. Furthermore, the transmission of pressure is a limiting factor as regards the size and irregularity of shape of a product manufactured by the dry press process"--Introduction, page 1.
