Abstract

Tests were carried out with an X-ray diffractometer furnace to determine the temperature variations from point to point in the specimen and the correction to be applied to thermocouple readings. It was found that, under the conditions of the tests, temperature corrections depend on the preparation and properties of the sample. Calibration curves for two standards are given to illustrate this point, and suggestions for improving temperature measurements are made.
