Considerable experience with small, quick‐acting kilns in the laboratory, both for instruction and research, has indicated the distinct advantages of this type of kiln. By the use of an insulating refractory the mass of the kiln can be reduced to less than one‐tenth of that usually employed, which makes rapid heating possible without great expenditure of fuel. Two types of kilns are described which have given good service for a considerable length of time. Temperatures as high as 2600°F can be obtained with atmospheric burners and temperatures up to 3000°F with blast burners.
