Using the same hole for the reference thermometer and the test probe may have
better results. This however requires switching the probes which takes more
time. One must allow a few minutes after inserting the probes for the tempera
-
ture to stabilize before making measurements. Because of temperature varia
-
tions along the length of the well, best results are obtained when comparing
probes of similar construction and inserting them the same depth into the well.
