Shrinkage during drying occurs chiefly in the

  • A.period after firing begins
  • B.constant rate period
  • C.falling rate period
  • D.final equilibrium period

Answer: B

Correct answer: constant rate period

Shrinkage happens while the water being removed is the water separating the particles: as it goes, the particles pull together and the body contracts. That is the constant rate period. Once the particles are in contact the shrinkage stops even though a good deal of water remains, and the falling rate period that follows empties pores without further contraction.
