If it takes the 500 series then look seriously at the YSI 551:

"Hypodermic probe for subcutaneous, intramuscular, intravenous, and small area measurement. Probe is 20-gauge stainless steel, epoxy-sealed. Not electrically isolated. Has 304.8cm (10') non-detachable cable with 0.6cm (1/4") phone plug. Range: 0 to 70°C . Not autoclavable."

Temperature range and need for electrical isolation might be a concern though...

I have a bunch of the 702s

The Cole-Parmer should have analog out, right? Could always go that route to automation...
According to their site I have the 703 tubular probe. Certainly not what I want in the die sim. The 423 does look good. 1/8" is a little large but it will make it a hell of a lot easier to drill the hole in the step of the die slug. 1/16" is very hard in the design of Bill's.

The 702 looks the same as the 423 so I assume accuracy is the difference? I can't seem to find anything on the 500 series. Maybe they discontinued it?

The Cole Parmer unit I got only has anolog output for 1 probe only. So I don't think it would be all that usefull.
