Institution Facility Thermocouple type Error corrections
Hypothesis Convection Radiation Estimated correction
Sandia CVP Bare bead type-R (50 μm): Pt/Pt+13Rh Conduction error neglected Yes Yes 4–10 K (at 900 K)
TUE CVP Bare bead type-R (50 μm): Pt/Pt+13Rh Yes Yes 4–10 K (at 900 K)
IFPEN CVP Bare bead type-K (50 μm): Ni/Cr Yes Yes 4–10 K (at 900 K)
Caterpillar CPF Sheathed type-K (1 and 3 mm): Ni/Cr
  • Temperature is homogeneous in the small volume where the different thermocouples with different diameters are placed.

  • Temperature is averaged over 10 s .

No correction (temperature time averaged) Yes
CMT CPF Sheathed type-K : Ni/Cr
  • Temperature is homogeneous in the small volume where the different thermocouples with different diameters are placed.

  • Temperature is averaged over 20 s .

No correction (temperature time averaged) Yes
