Tom,

I searched Google for keywords:   watermark delmhorst calibration

From the results I found the following to be of interest.

Delmhorst calibration data are in:
ftp://ftp.campbellsci.com/pub/outgoing/manuals/223.pdf

Watermark calibration formulae are at Section 4 in
ftp://ftp.campbellsci.com/pub/outgoing/manuals/253.pdf

Also see: Changes to Optional Gypsum Block Soil Moisture Protocol

Yours sincerely,
Robert Bogner
