Clay Shrinkage Calculator

Clay Shrinkage Calculator calculator can be used to determine the amount of shrinkage in clay when it dries. This is important for various applications in construction and ceramics.

Input Parameters

Calculation Results

Calculation Formula

Shrinkage (%) = [(Initial Volume - Final Volume) / Initial Volume] * 100%

Where:
Initial Volume = Volume of clay before drying
Final Volume = Volume of clay after drying

Learn how to use the Clay Shrinkage Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the initial volume of the clay before drying in the "Initial Volume of Clay (cm³)" field.
  2. Enter the final volume of the clay after drying in the "Final Volume of Clay (cm³) after drying" field.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the shrinkage percentage.
  4. The shrinkage percentage will be displayed in the "Shrinkage Percentage (%)" field.
  5. If you need to start over, click the "Reset" button to clear all input fields.

Working Principle

The calculator determines the shrinkage percentage of clay by comparing its initial volume before drying to its final volume after drying. The formula used is:

Shrinkage (%) = [(Initial Volume - Final Volume) / Initial Volume] * 100%

This formula helps in understanding how much the clay has reduced in volume due to drying, which is crucial for applications in construction and ceramics.
