Design parameter of Si3N4 for engineering part could be calculated through the measurement of tensile strength with cylindrical specimen($\Phi$=7.15, ι=110mm) Relative densities of Si3N4 test specimen prepared by pressure-less sintering (PLS) and sinter/HIP were 98.5 and 99.2% respectively. Tensile strength of Si3N4 was 378 MPa for PLS and 509 MPa for sinter/HIP. By the Weibull statistic Design parameter such as Weibull modulus m=8-12 could be calcuated. Fracture strength of Si3N4 related to volume could be effectively pridicted by using Weibull theory.
