본 연구는 화재실험에서 널리 이용되고 있는 노출비드형 열전대의 신뢰성을 평가하기 위해 화재실험을 수행하고 흡입식 열전대와 노출비드형 열전대에 의해 측정된 온도를 비교 분석한다. 화재실의 고온의 상층부에서는 노출비드형 열전대의 측정온도가 흡입식 열전대에 비해 상대적으로 낮게 나타났고 측정오차는 크지 않은 반면 저온의 하층부에서는 노출비드형 열전대의 온도가 높게 나타났으며 측정오차 또한 크게 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 측정된 노출비드형 열전대의 최대 상대오차는 최대 250% 이상까지 나타났으며 노출비드형 열전대를 이용하여 화재유동장을 정량화 할 때 측정 신뢰성 향상을 위해 적절한 보정과정이 필요함을 보여준다.

An experimental study was conducted to identify the quantitative measurement bias for the bare-bead thermocouple (TC), which was widely used for measuring temperature in fire experiments. To this end, an apparatus could be controlled individually gas flow rate, preheating temperature and incident radiative heat flux was developed to simulate the thermal environments of fire. A relative measurement bias of bare-bead TC was evaluated with the comparison of double-shield aspirated TC. As a result, the relative measurement bias of bare-bead TC was gradually increased with the increase in radiative heat flux with constant gas temperature. The relative bias was also significantly increased with the decrease in gas temperature. Quantitatively, at the gas temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, the bare-bead TC had the relative bias of approximately 400% with the radiative heat flux of $20kW/m^2$ corresponding to thermal radiation level of the flashover. The present study was intend to provide fire researchers with methodologies for the reanalyses of temperature measured using bare-bead TC, radiation corrections, and validation of fire modeling.

A numerical study was conducted to identify the predictive performance for the bare-bead thermocouple (TC) using FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) in simulated thermal environments of fire. A relative prediction bias of TC temperature calculated from reverse-radiation correction by FDS was evaluated with the comparison of previous experimental data. As a result, it was identified that the TC temperatures predicted by FDS were lower than the temperatures measured by bare-bead TC for the ranges of heat flux and gas temperature considered. The relative prediction bias of TC temperature by FDS was gradually increased with the increase in radiative heat flux and also significantly increased with the decrease in the gas temperature. Quantitatively, at the gas temperature of $20^{\circ}C$, the TC temperature predicted by FDS had the relative bias of approximately -20% with the radiative heat flux of $20kW/m^2$ corresponding to thermal radiation level of the flashover. It is predicted from the present study that more accurate validation of fire modeling will be possible with the quantitative prediction bias occurred in the process of reverse-radiation correction of temperature predicted by FDS.
