Has anybody got any figures on the performance of Thermostatic Room Valves?

There must be a specification somewhere.

Leaving my digital probe thermometer in one position in a room is giving me
a swing of a few degrees in temperature, and I would like to chase down the

They are not made well enough and combined with other factors there is too
much variation between units. Hence the relative scale using numbers,
final user tweaking is needed to get the settings right.
