An earthenware body absorbs 12 per cent water and a porcelain 0.2 per cent. How many times more water does the earthenware take up?

  • A.120 times
  • B.60 times
  • C.12 times
  • D.6 times

Answer: B

Dividing 12 by 0.2 gives 60. Water absorption is the standard test that separates the classes of whiteware and appears directly in the product standards. Absorption is measured by boiling a fired test piece and weighing it.
