Ceramics & Clay Chemistry Calculators

Ceramics & Pottery Calculators

Formulate high-precision pottery glazes, map pyrometric kiln heat-work cone targets, optimize clay shrinkages, calculate specific gravities of slips, and adjust thermal expansion fit variables to eliminate structural cracking.

Thermal Expansion & Fit

Analyze glaze-to-clay body fit to predict and prevent crazing or shivering using thermal expansion coefficients (COE).

Glaze and Clay COE

Typical clay: 6.0 to 8.0
Typical glaze: 5.5 to 8.5

Ceramic Lab Analysis

Glaze & Clay Lab
Glaze COE6.50
COE Discrepancy-0.50
Glaze Fit Analysis: Moderate Shivering Risk

Slight compression on the glaze. Potentially safe but prone to shivering on thin rims. Monitor carefully.
