Description
Beaker tongs 300 mm with cork are laboratory handling instruments for the secure gripping and relocation of beakers and similar vessels during experimental and preparative work. At 300 mm overall length they provide generous reach, helping keep hands away from hot plates, cold baths or chemically treated contents while the vessel remains under control. The jaws are lined with cork, which cushions contact with glass and improves grip on smooth cylindrical walls without the hardness of bare metal. Delivered as one piece, the tongs are appropriate for general chemistry laboratories, teaching environments and quality-control stations where beakers regularly move between heating devices, cooling baths and bench tops. These tools from manufacturer RSG form part of the broader assortment of other laboratory instruments used for vessel handling. The cork-faced design is particularly useful when a softer interface is preferred to protect glassware surfaces during repeated transfers. Fully mechanical and free of power requirements, the tongs fit seamlessly into established lab routines and support safer, more controlled movement of hot, cold or wet beakers across everyday analytical and preparative tasks.

Questions about Beaker tong, cork lined, 300mm
What is this article?
Beaker tong, cork lined, 300mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes RSG for laboratory use. It sits in Beakers, inside Beakers & flasks, in Labware.
A beaker is an open, straight-sided working vessel with a spout. It is for dissolving, heating and pouring. The graduations are a guide, not a volumetric calibration. Low form and tall form differ in stability and in how easily a liquid splashes.
A beaker is an open working vessel: easy to pour, poor as a measure. An Erlenmeyer flask has a flat base and a conical wall so a liquid can be swirled without climbing out. A round-bottom flask is for heating under a condenser, because the heat meets a curved wall and the joint at the neck connects to the rest of the glassware. Borosilicate is the glass that survives the temperature change. These forms are listed under ISO laboratory glassware.
