Then you would be testing your oven's thermostat. Depending on elevation, boiling water will be pretty close to 100C no matter what. But you're right, factory thermocouples probably get tested maybe 1 out of 100.
Yep, I understand that water is better for testing actual accuracy, but accuracy isn't nearly as important as them all reading the same value at the same temperature (in my CHT application) so I can pick out a cylinder that's higher or lower than the rest, or use the info to optimize cooling through baffling tweaks. When I tested these four at ambient, I also used a "factory" Fluke K thermocouple that came with my Fluke 52 Thermometer, and I have several others, so those would have been used in the oven as "reference" thermocouples to verify accuracy. Given that these are now hooked to my flaky iEFIS, all bets regarding accuracy are off anyway....
