How to use this tool

  1. Enter slab length, slab width, wet thickness, measured wet clay density, and trim border on each side in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate and use each labeled result for pottery slab clay mass. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

Try this example

{
  "length": 40,
  "width": 30,
  "thickness": 0.8,
  "density": 1.8,
  "trim": 2
}

Accuracy and scope

Density must come from your clay sample; slab compression, attached parts and drying losses are excluded.
