A method used in measuring the draft distribution in sewerpipe kilns is described and the significance of draft measurement in kiln studies is discussed. In the progress of the kiln studies several types of kiln bottoms were investigated. These ranged from one extreme to the other in the type and arrangement of flues and openings. The kilns studied had ring, spoke, spider, or “T” flue systems, together with solid or open‐feature walls, and in some cases a double‐feature wall system. Draft‐distribution studies of these types of construction brought out widely varying conditions. The possibilities offered in correcting faulty conditions by the use of this method of measuring the distribution are discussed.
