Jed--
It's common practice to design a hydraulic system to measure pressure in a cool leg attached hydraulically to the system being measured. It is not necessary and in some regards foolish to subject a pressure transducer to non-ambient temperatures when the differential pressure head associated with the cold leg compared to the hot leg is minor. I think you seem to raise issues without reasonable understanding of thermal hydraulic system engineering.
