Ceramic Tile Testing Equipment

77C-1 Porcelain Body Transmittance Meter

Porcelain is a semi‑translucent material, and its degree of translucency is one of the key indicators for assessing its quality. Porcelain that is pure white, lustrous, and highly translucent imparts a sense of clarity and transparency, making it particularly appealing. Translucency not only reveals the visual characteristics of the porcelain’s surface but also reflects its internal physicochemical properties. It is closely related to factors such as the mineralogical composition of the porcelain body, crystal morphology, chemical makeup, particle size, porosity, and the extent of firing. By using translucency as an analytical parameter, one can determine the content of the liquid phase (glassy phase) within the article, evaluate the uniformity of different regions in the same piece, and help establish the appropriate firing temperature range. Consequently, measuring translucency is of great significance for evaluating porcelain quality and for scientific research in the ceramics industry.
