Round Robin 8 Observations

• Calorimeter Cooling Water cannot be too hot.
  Keep in mind that its cooling water and the
  water temperature should be checked periodically.
  
• There were no significant differences in test
  results during this Round Robin with the labs
  using Kaowool vs. other refractory board.
• Labs using an Electric Radiant Panel that are
  experiencing higher than average stabilization
  times should check their controller settings for
  their mode of operation.
• Non-Participating Labs will be included in future
  Round Robins.
