there is a temp change w/o any DUT, for higher accuracy this must be addressed

the WCing testing community might consider the use of these (cheap) crosses as a de-facto std, everyone would have the same corrections
(there is an inst offset included in these curves which could be backed out)

Bill I need to get this straight, having difficulty re-engaging brain. I don't really understand.

Where is the water temperature measured?
The correction would be for the RTD in the "T" piece? I guess I am wondering which is right...

The hydraulic behaviour is I think real (that said without any deep investigation at all) and therefore requires no correction, just a statement of absolute water temp. ?

I am not at all up to speed here.
