Bolometric corrections and absolute magnitudes for WR stars have been evaluated by various authors. A review of the results may be found in De Jager (1980). The calibrations, relating BC or Mv with the spectral subtype, however strongly differ from author to author. Moreover, even with the same observational method a large scatter is found for the same subtype, as was recognised by Conti et al. (1983). The only trend found is the increase of Mv with the subtype from WN3 to WN7, and for the WC subtypes. In this study BC and Mv are computed for a number of WR+O binaries.
