for this range don't use thermocouples, they're probably less accurate than
you'd like it (there may be a difference of a couple degrees between
different thermocouples of the same type, according to the standard), and
their intended range is much bigger. Pt100 resistors are better suited for
your range; their accuracy is better and the variation between different
sensors is much smaller.
