Abstract

Finer grinding improves the appearance of the brick and increases their strength somewhat but not in any marked degree, within the commercial limits of grinding. A grinding of from 15 to 20 minutes seems most desirable. The time of grinding does not affect the porosity appreciably. The firing temperature is the principal factor governing the final strength and also the permanent residual expansion. The maximum temperature cone 19, yielded the highest strength and the lowest expansion.
