47、 7.2 to 7.6) shall be conducted for 10 minafter the activation of the first nozzle. The category III tests (see 7.7 to 7.9) shallbe conducted for 30 min after the activation of the first nozzle. After thisperiod, any remaining fire shall be extinguished manually.7.1.5 During each test, the following
48、 temperatures shall be measuredcontinuously, at least every 2 s, throughout the tests:a) the embedded ceiling surface temperature above the ignition source in theroom, with the thermocouple bead 6.5 mm above the bottom surface of theceiling;b) the ceiling gas temperature, with a thermocouple (75 1)
49、mm below theceiling in the centre of the room;c) the ceiling surface temperature in the centre of the corridor, directlyopposite the doorway, with a thermocouple embedded in the ceilingmaterial such that the thermocouple bead is 6.5 mm above the bottomsurface of the ceiling;d) the ceiling gas temperature, with a thermocouple (75 1) mm below theceiling in the centre of the corridor directly opposite the doorway;BRITISH STANDARDBS 8489-7:20164 The British Standards Institution 2016e) for the category III t
