A bstract Thermal conductivity determinations have been made on superduty fire‐clay, silica, and kaolin refractories, using the Globar‐heated, water calorimeter apparatus previously described. The arrangement, which is satisfactory for insulating firebrick, gives considerable error when firebrick samples are tested. Results obtained by different arrangements of the guard samples and heating elements are shown as well as a final arrangement which gives a satisfactory condition of parallel heat flow.
