Pressure Transmission And Green Strength Of Clays As Affected By Time Of Ageing, William Thomas Kay
Pressure Transmission And Green Strength Of Clays As Affected By Time Of Ageing, William Thomas Kay
Bachelors Theses
"Perfect dry pressing could only be attained if the mix possessed the properties of water in so far as pressure transmission is concerned. There are many factors, however, which tend to interfere with the transmixxion sic of pressure in the clay block, such as, - Differences in grain size, friction between the grains, entrapped air, dragging of the clay on the sides of the mould box and many other minor causes. In an effort to solve some the problems that are of vital interest to the Dry Press industry, the Committee on Dry Press Process of the National Brick Manufacturers …
The Purification Of Missouri Fire Clays, James Joseph Offutt
The Purification Of Missouri Fire Clays, James Joseph Offutt
Bachelors Theses
"At the present time there appears to be an unlimited supply of high grade fire clay available for most any purpose. But some time in the future there will rise the problem of purifying the low grade clay to such an extent that it will be used in high grade fire clay products. Whatever purification method may be employed it must be applicable on a commercial scale and the cost of purification must be very low. Until the present time little if any work along this line has been reported. Apparently no one has ever attempted any serious efforts to …
Development Of An Artificial Substitute For Firestone, Joseph Edwin Stevens
Development Of An Artificial Substitute For Firestone, Joseph Edwin Stevens
Bachelors Theses
"Firestone is a natural occurring silica rock which is cut up into brick and shapes and used for lining cupolas. This rock is found in the east, mostly in Pennsylvania. It is dense, having a porosity of 5.6% raw and 16% after firing to cone 18. Its volume expansion upon firing was calculated to be 19.2%. Its appearance shows that it is evidently fine grained silica bonded with a small amount of clay and siliceous cement. This rock has such desirable characteristics for use in cupola linings that it would be of great importance to duplicate this rock synthetically in …
The Effect Of Different Rates Of Ram Movement On The Transmission Of Pressure In Dry Pressed Bodies, Frank Joseph Zvanut
The Effect Of Different Rates Of Ram Movement On The Transmission Of Pressure In Dry Pressed Bodies, Frank Joseph Zvanut
Bachelors Theses
"The object of this investigation was to study the relationship between the rate of ram movement during the initial application of pressure and the transmission of pressure in the dry press process; to study the effect of various rates of ram movement; and, as far as possible, to determine the critical rate for uniform pressure distribution within the body"--Purpose of Investigation, page 4.
The Effect Of Grain Sizing On The Strength And Porosity Of Refractory Grog Bodies, Robert Stafford Green
The Effect Of Grain Sizing On The Strength And Porosity Of Refractory Grog Bodies, Robert Stafford Green
Bachelors Theses
"The object of this work was to determine the effect of grain sizing on the strength and porosity of grog bodies. The investigation was carried out by the general method of making up bars of varying grain composition and testing them for strength and porosity"--page 1.
