Abstract
A comparative study using sodium chloride solutions of concentrations from 1 to 1000 ppm (mg/1) demonstrates the conversion of quantitative expressions for the testing of soluble salts in ceramics. A comparison is made between the chloride titration precipitate, concentration in solution as ppm (mg/1), musiemens/cm (mumhos/cm) of conductivity, and a percentage as wt/vol in solution. The applicability of the conversion of these units of measurement to monitoring the removal of soluble salts from ceramics is illustrated. The need for the compilation of conversion charts for the various soluble salt compounds found as contaminants in ceramics is expressed. -- AATA
