07CERAMIC Flashcards
Any of various hard brittle noncorrosive and non conductive materials formed by the ionic bonding of a metal and a nonmetal as brick concrete and natural stone
CERAMIC
Any of various products made by firing clay or similar materials in a kiln as brick title and pottery
Ceramic ware
The process of hardening or glazing ceramic ware by heating in a kiln to a specified temperature
Firing
Fired at a high temperature to near vitrification and having relatively low absorption and high compressive strength
Hard-burned
Fired at low temperature and having relatively high absorption and low compressive strength
Soft-burned
Low-fired opaque non vitreous ceramic ware
Earthenware
High-fired opaque vitrified ceramic ware
Stoneware
To make a clay body vitreous by firing at a specified temperature
Vitrify
Resembling glass as in transparency hardness brittleness luster or having low or no porosity
Vitreous
Having a moderate water absorption of slightly under 6z
Semi vitreous
Having a water absorption greater than 7z
Non vitreous
A hard vitreous translucent ceramic material consisting essentially of kaolin feldspar and quartz fired at a very high temperature
Porcelain
A translucent ceramic material bisque-fired at a high temperature and glaze -fired at a lower temperature
China
A fine white clay used in the manufacture of porcelain and white Portland cement also called china clay
Kaolin
A vitreous, usually opaque, decorative or protective coating applied by fusion to the surface of metal, glass, or pottery.
Enamel
An opaque, glassy coating bonded to metal by fusing at a high temperature.
Porcelain enamel/ Vitreous enamel
A thermo-chemical bond between materials resulting from exposure to temperatures approaching the fusion point of the mixture.
Ceramic Bond
The structural portion of a ceramic article of the clay material or mixture from which it is made.
Body
Fired to harden a clay body.
Biscque-fired
Earth ware or porcelain that has been fired once but not glazed.
Bisque/ Biscuit.
A vitreous layer or coating fused to a clay body to color, decorate, waterproof or strengthen its surface.
Glaze
A fused or partially fused material that is ground to introduce a soluble or unstable ingredients into glazes or enamels.
Frit
Any of various fired clay tiles used for surfacing walls, floors and counter tops.
Ceramic tiles.
Ceramic tile having non vitreous body and a bright, matte or crystalline glaze, used for surfacing interior walls and light duty floors.
Glazed wall tile
Small ceramic tile having a porcelain or natural clay body, glazed for surfacing walls and un-glazed for use on both floors and walls, and usually face or back mounted on sheets to facilitate handling and speed installation.
Ceramic Mosaic tiles.
Unglazed ceramic floor tile having a natural clay body.
Quarry tile/ Promenade tile
Any of various specially shaped ceramic tiles for finishing an edge or angle.
Trimmer
A coved tile set at the meeting of a floor and wall to prevent accumulation of dirt and to facilitate cleaning.
Sanitary base
A tile setting process in which ceramic tile is applied over a portland cement mortar bed 3/4 to 1 1/2 inch ( 19 to 38 mm) thick, which allows for accurate slopes and planes in the finished work.
Thick set process
A field mix of portland cement, sand, water and sometimes hydrated lime used for leveling or setting ceramic tile in the thick-set process.
Portland cement mortar
A thin coat of mortar for bonding ceramic tile to a backing.
Bond coat
A Tile setting process in which ceramic tile is bonded to a continuous stable backing with a thin coat of dry-set mortar, latex-portland cement mortar, epoxy mortar or an organic adhesive 1/32 to 1/8 inch (0.8 to 3.2 mm) Thick.
Thin bed process
A cementitious or resinous mix for filling joints in ceramic tile work.
Tile gout
A hollow tile of fired clay having parallel cells or cores, used in building walls and partitions.
Structural clay tile
Load bering structural clay tile suitable for masonry walls not exposed to frost action or in exposed masonry where protected by a facing of 3 inch ( 76.2 mm) or more of stone, brick, terracotta or other masonry.
LB
Load bearing structural clay tiles suitable for masonry walls exposed to wheathering or frost action.
LBX
Any of various cellular building units of fired clay, concrete or gypsum used for building walls, floor, and roofs or for fireproofing steelworks
Hollow tile
Strctural clay tiles having glazed surface, used for facing walls and partitions esp. in area having heavy wear, moisture problems and strict sanitation requirements.
structural facing tiles
Structural facing tile suitable for exposed exterior and interior masonry walls and partitions where moderate absorption, slight variation in face dimensions minor defects in surface finish and medium color range are acceptable.
FTS
Smooth strctural facing tile suitable for exposed exterior and interior masonry walls and partitions where low absorption and stain resistance are required, and where a high degree of mechanical perfection minimum variation in face dimensions and narrow color range are desired.
FTX
A hard fired clay, reddish brown in color when unglazed used for architectural facings and ornaments, tile units and pottery.
Terracotta
Hard burned glazed or terracotta, hand molded or machine extruded to order as ceramic veneer for walls or for ornamentation.
Architectural terracotta
Sun Dried brick made of clay and straw, commonly used in countries with little rainfall.
Adobe
A Stiff mixture of clay, sand or other aggregate, and water compressed and dried withing forms as a wall construction.
