After trying to use Ferro's web page to no avail, I turn at last to the
listserve...
so here is the question... does anyone have analysis for ferro frit 3197?
And is there an online source for updated frits and the like??
much thanks,

I've got tons of old frit formulas and ferro books but I don't
have anything for this. And I've never let a frit formula cross my desk
without entering it into my database in the past 15 years.

Dear Clayarters
In Greg Daly's book GLAZES & GLAZING TECHNIQUES he quotes in the
mid firing recipes Frit 4364. In the appendix of frits he makes no
reference to the composition of this frit.
Can anyone supply the analysis or at least tell me what type of frit
this is?

Hi from New Zealand Rose,
The Handbook for Australian Potters gives the following formula for Fritt
4364 : PbO 1.000, Al2O3 0.085, SiO2 1.95, Mol Wgt. 349 which makes it a
lead fritt.

Frit 4364 now goes by the code of 4064 (
according to Walker's Catalogue. Melbourne
Australia)
The composition is PbO 1, Al2O3 0.085, SiO2
1.95....Molecular weight 349.
I have a note pencilled in the margin that
this is a lead bisilicate frit.
I have exactly the same information in my
copy of tha Handbook For Australian Potters
by DeBoos,Harrison and Smith.
Hope this helps.

For North Americans, a four-digit frit number usually means Ferro
Corporation, although some UK and Ozzie frits also may have similar
numbers with an appropriate letter(s) in front. When Ferro Corp set up its
frit designations, it made a shift at 3300 (still valid although Ferro no
longer provides analyses of its current frits). Most of the company's
frits (not all) with a designation number below 3300 (eg, 3124) were
non-lead frits whereas most (not all) frits with a number from 3300 to
3600 were lead-bearing frits. So, as a first approximation, one can say
any Frit with a 4000 designation is probably a leaded frit, although this
position obviously needs confirmation.
