All of the following can be established without firing the material EXCEPT

  • A.the colour it will fire to
  • B.its elemental composition
  • C.its crystalline phases
  • D.its particle size distribution

Answer: A

Correct answer: the colour it will fire to

Fired colour depends on how the iron, titanium and organic matter behave at temperature and in the kiln atmosphere, and no analysis of the raw material predicts it reliably - two clays of similar iron content can fire quite differently. Composition, phases and particle size are all measured cold. That is why a firing trial remains part of the acceptance routine.
