Purpose.—A study was made of the heat distribution in four sewer pipe kilns in order to determine means of making this as uniform as possible and thus produce pipe of uniform maximum strength and reduce the cost of firing. Results.—It was found that the coolest portions of the kilns are along the entire bottom and on the top near the outside of the kiln. The hottest portion is usually on the top in center of the kiln. Kilns having a small diameter have a more uniform distribution of heat than those having larger diameters.
