Refractory Technology
Addition of grog in fireclay brick during its manufacture is advantageous, because it results in

All of these
Less shrinkage in heating, decreased apparent porosity & increased specific gravity
Less addition of water to get a workable plasticity & lesser time required for drying the raw refractories and hence increased rate of production
High strength & thermal spalling resistance
