I have shown there is no problem even if the thermocopule is improperly bonded. With a Band Aid! That was deliberate. It was the worst method of bonding I could come up. I improved it with better tape and insulation. It made no measurable difference. Today I shall try to measure the difference in temperature between the outside of the pipe and the fluid on the inside. I predict that no matter how badly I bond the thermocouple, it will be reasonably accurate. We'll see.
