The thermal conductance of insulating firebrick was measured in gas atmospheres other than air. The effect of using insulating firebrick in gases of thermal conductivity higher or lower than that of air was correlated with porosity. Curves are presented that permit direct computation of the thermal conductance of these brick in any gas atmosphere of known thermal conductivity. An equation is given for estimating the thermal conductance of a clay‐based brick using only its porosity and thermal conductance in air.
