We are proud to share that one of our product specialists, Kevin Goodison has recently been featured in the October issue of Clay Technology magazine, which is published thrice yearly by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3).
IOM3 is a global network for the materials cycle, promoting sustainability and greater circularity in the extraction, processing and use of natural resources. Within the IOM3 network are a wide range of technical communities that focus on all aspects of materials science, technology and engineering; mining, minerals and exploration; and materials applications from nanotechnology to construction.
One of these communities is the Ceramics Group, the network for professional people working with advanced, engineering or industrial ceramics including clay and cementitious materials and falling within this group is the Clay Technology Subgroup.
The mission of the Clay Technology subgroup is to promote heavy clay technology on a UK and international basis and to provide members with opportunities to broaden their professional outlook, skills and qualifications, thus enabling them to face change with greater confidence and thereby help secure a dynamic future for the heavy clay industry.
Clay Technology magazine is published for and distributed to members of the Clay Technology subgroup and is also circulated to delegates at ClayTech UK, the UK’s largest exhibition, conference and networking event for the sector.
On the Right Wavelength – Measuring Moisture Levels in Clay Bricks
In this technical article entitled “On the right wavelength – measuring moisture levels in clay bricks” Kevin Goodison, who specialises in non-contact near-infrared (NIR) moisture measurement explains how a NIR moisture gauge can accurately and reliably measure moisture levels during clay brick production in an effort to achieve the brick industry’s goal of improving its resource and energy efficiency in a drive to reduce carbon emissions.
