Kilns - clay production
The document describes a modernisation process for a kiln and analyses the quality of the " Ton" which is produced in the plant. There are 4 graphs which are titled "Blähversuche mit Ton, Belgorod(the plant)". Could anyone help me with the correct translation for Blähversuche in this context, TIA.

swelling tests/experiments
Bucksch, Dict. of geological engineering, gives “swelling index” for “Blähzahl”
Googling for “swelling+clay” led me to this article:

bloating experiment
Der Blähvorgang und auch der Blähversuch wird in dem u.g. Dokument der Uni Karlsruhe genau beschrieben, auch Bilder sind vorhanden (S. 14). Meine Recherche hat ergeben, dass der Vorgang des "Blähens" im Zusammenhang mit "expanded clay" im Englischen mit "bloating" wiedergegeben wird. Also kann man das wohl mit "bloating experiment" wiedergeben.

"bloating test" scheint in diesem Kontext gängiger zu sein als "bloating experiment".

Note from asker:
| Hello Uta, thank you for your suggestion. The client preferred swelling/expanding as opposed to bloating. |
