I have been reading up on glaze testing lately and saw agreat page detailing
the use of a glaze viscosity testing "tile" or "ramp". The article can be
found at
http://ceramic-materials.com/cermat/education/244.html
The article mentions that an angle less than 45 degrees is preffered but it
doesn't give an example of a "Good" angle
has anyone got any experience with this or an idea of what angle range would
be helpful???
Thanks, Ben

Dear Ben Shelton,
I would suggest that a "Preferred angle of 45 degrees" might be =
considered "Good" but shallower slopes will exhibit less movement of the =
wave front. Whatever angle you choose to use, standardise on that value =
if you intend comparing all of your glazes. But may also pay to design a =
test piece that exhibits design features of your work.
You should find information in early industrial ceramic literature. =
Singer and Singer, "Industrial Ceramics" may be a good place to start. =
The names James and Norris seem to ring a bell.
Best regards
Ivor Lewis.
