A method of preparing clay samples for differential thermal analysis which permits the analysis to be made with the test and reference samples freely exposed to the furnace atmosphere is described. The data obtained when samples were thus heated are presented, together with those obtained when an Inconel block was used to contain the clay. The sensitivity of the two methods is compared, with particular emphasis on the increased sensitivity in the low‐temperature range which resulted from the use of the new method.
