A method of measuring the thermal diffusivity of refractory materials is described. The experimental procedure is based on transient heat conditions requiring the measurement of only the time interval and the change in temperature. The results obtained for alumina, magnesia, zirconia, and alumina‐clay specimens show the variation of diffusivity with temperature. A comparison of the results with those of previous studies is given.
