Volumetric Shrinkage


Recommended Posts

Hi all - does anyone have any rules of thumb (or specific calculations) to determine shrinkage estimates of a piece's volume?

 

I threw a couple jugs, and I'm trying to figure out which one will be closest to 750 ml finished. The smaller of the two holds 1500 ml after bisque.

 

The body's overall shrinkage is around 10-11, so with a conservative estimate of 5% shrinkage in the glaze firing, what is the volume shrinkage? Would it be .95^3 x 1500?
