1.1 本试验方法包括测定未烧和烧成的白色陶瓷粘土的线性收缩。 1.2 以英寸-磅为单位的数值应视为标准值。括号中给出的值是到国际单位制的数学转换，仅供参考，不被视为标准值。 1.3 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.4 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒（TBT）委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 2.1 本试验的目的是获得粘土或实体或两者在各种加工条件下干燥和烧制后的收缩值，以使设计师能够确定模具的适当尺寸，从而生产出预定尺寸的烧制器皿。

1.1 This test method covers the determination of linear shrinkage of ceramic whiteware clays, both unfired and fired. 1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard. 1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 2.1 The purpose of this test is to obtain values of shrinkage after drying and firing of clays or bodies or both, under various processing conditions to enable designers to determine the proper size of mold or die so as to produce a predetermined size of fired ware.
