Fluke have a very handy thermocouple module that will plug into any
voltmeter, their model number is 80TK. It has a connector that will take a
standard thermocouple plug, and two banana plugs on 3/4 inch centres that
fit most meters. It is switchable to read directly in C or F. They are not
especially cheap, but are real convenient if needing to measure temperatures
outside the "normal" 0 to 100C range.
