I'm looking for thermometer that can read -100 or colder and i'm allso looking for sensors to read those temperatures.

I found a few thermometers, but the all have those "Stick-in" pt100 or pt1000 sensors.

What i am looking for:
Thermometer that can read -100 or colder (with decent accuracy) with a k-type thermocouple.

K-type sensors that are flexibel all the way down to the tip and are good for -80c atleast !!

My budget:
150euro max (100quid)

Fluke 52II I know goes that far down, but I'm not sure if it's within your price range.

obvious :)

now the only thing that i need are k-type probes that go to -100 or so :)

You probably want T, not K, as its roughly twice as accurate and not all that much more expensive (well compared to a quality K type anyway).

Check omega thermocouples out. They'll ship orders of any size (and gouge you on shipping).

Temperature controllers would be your best bet. They double-act as a thermometer, but seem a little underused in these forums, i think ocshoot mentioned them once (? )

I use a Newport temperature controller with a U type thermocouple.

U, N and T thermocouples reach -100c to 150c with no problems.
