At one of the  UL300 classes I attended, the instructor told us that Fluke had 
instruments that would record the temps of the plenum.  Fluke said they had no 
instruments that would measure the temp in the plenum.  But, Brooks Equip 
(800.826.3473 does have temperature labels that have an adhesive backing.  The 
labels are a a 1/2” square with a 1/4” dot.  The dot turns black at 500°F.  21 
dots @ $28.34 each card.

The best method would be to do a temperature survey at the location of the 
sprinkler. Use the temperature recorders that kitchen hood suppression 
contractors use to determine maximum temperatures or a recording device with a 
thermocouple.

 

The correct sprinkler temperature rating would be a function of the operating 
temperature of the oven, how long it is on (some don’t let them cool down much 
at night, how far the sprinkler is from the opening, what the airflow around 
the sprinkler is, and what the ambient temperature of the area is maintained at.

What are the guidelines for high temp/intermediate temp heads spaced around the 
perimeter of a commercial kitchen hood? I didn’t see anything specific about it 
in 13.
