We compare the energy and count fluxes obtained by integrating over the finite bandwidth of BATSE with a measure proportional to the bolometric energy flux, the phi-measure, introduced by Borgonovo & Ryde. We do this on a sample of 74 bright, long, and smooth pulses from 55 GRBs. The correction factors show a fairly constant behavior over the whole sample, when the signal-to-noise-ratio is high enough. We present the averaged spectral bolometric correction for the sample, which can be used to correct flux data.
