I had a conversation with one of our other engineers before lunch and he wondered what would be the result of the following TC arrangement - two identical T/Cs in parallel in contact with the same object but where there was a small temperature gradient. TC wires are the same length.
I said the instrument would register the lower temperature, 1000C. He thought it might be 1001 C, the average.
Neither one of us is 100% sure.
