Although a simplified model of the fire test rig was employed the calculated values for
thermocouples correspond well with the measurements. The same correspondence was not
found for the plate thermometer in the lower right corner of the entrance of the burning
chamber. In this case the model gave substantially higher temperatures. Reasons for this are unclear however it is possibly a consequence of the shape of the flame suppressing lattice in the fire tray that lead to different local effects compared to burning from a liquid surface.
