Abstract The temperature diagnostics of hot flare plasma, obtained from two Solar Maximum Mission instruments (HXIS and BCS), is compared. A good general agreement between the HXIS and BCS-Fe temperature scales has been found. However, for the growth phase of some flares a systematic difference, THXIS>TFe, has been found, which is not likely to be due to the typical non-thermal electron beams. Possible explanation of this effect is briefly discussed.
