Grog is the material usually added to clay to minimize shrinkage. Grog is ground fired clay and it adds strength to the body as well as minimizing shrinkage.
What has the greater bearing pressure dry clay or gravel
= China Clays = China Clays - What are the Differences?Ceramics? Stoneware? China? Bone China? The properties of clays include plasticity, shrinkage under firing and under air drying, fineness of grain, color after firing, hardness, cohesion, and capacity of the surface to take decoration. From these properties clays are divided into classes or groups; products are generally made from mixtures of clays and other substances. The purest clays are the china clays or kaolins. "Ball clay" is a name for a group of plastic, high-temperature clays used with other clays to improve their plasticity and to increase their strength.* http://www.he-and-she.com/english-china/china-clay.html
This site has an amazing array of any topics on clay, pottery, porcelain, ceramics, etc., including firing, shrinkage, drying techniques, and so-on, very comprehensive:* http://ceramics.lifetips.com/cat/23525/clay-bodies/index.html
It is used when greater resistance to very high temperatures is needed. In particular it is used for the construction of kilns (you don't want the inside of your kiln to start melting, do you?)

primary clay:- once formed from the parent rock deposited at origin, so less impurities,coarse particles,less humic acid , low plasticity& low shrinkage than 2ndry claysecondry clay:- 2ndry clay are transported and formed, so more impurities, fine particles, more humic,higher plasticity and shrinkage.
where is china-clay (mineral) PRODUCTION in ketch(Gujarat)
There are gaps between the clay particles.
In China
Because it is made of a type of clay called China clay.
A typical recipe for bone china clay is: China Clay 37.5% Bone Ash 37.5% Feldspar 20% quartz 5%
Granite, china clay is a by product of granite which means when granite is weathered and put under pressure china clay is formed . Hope this helps!
What has the greater bearing pressure dry clay or gravel
some where in china
The short answer is yes. The Chinese made vases and similar products from fine clay which they exported to Europe. The English discovered the same type of clay in Britain. They called the clay "China clay" and the products made from it "fine China" after the country which pioneered the production technique.
