Aiming for a better understanding of the $^{27}\mathrm{Al}(\ensuremath{\alpha},n)^{30}\mathrm{P}$ reaction, new cross-section measurements for this reaction have been carried out using $^{27}\mathrm{Al}$ targets of thicknesses 20 $\textmu{}{\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$ and 63 $\textmu{}{\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{cm}}^{2}$ for $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-energy range of 2.5--5.2 MeV and 3.4--5.2 MeV, respectively. An array of twenty-eight $^{3}\mathrm{He}$ counters, providing high and almost flat neutron-detection efficiency up to about 3 MeV neutron energy, has been used for the experiment. The amount of $^{13}\mathrm{C}$ contamination in the $^{27}\mathrm{Al}$ target and its effect on the measured total neutron cross sections has also been reported. The measured cross sections have been interpreted using the dynamical cluster-decay model and the compound Hauser-Feshbach model.
