By adapting a Guinier–Lenné high‐temperature powder X‐ray diffraction camera to include a gas rinsing system and a specially designed mini‐environmental cell, the conditions of industrial furnacing can be more realistically simulated. These modifications are described together with an illustration of their successful use with ultramarine, a blue pigment produced by industrial furnacing. The method described is particularly suitable when problems of size scale and volatilization cannot otherwise be overcome.
