Description
Beaker tongs, stainless, 260 mm, plastic-coated provide secure grip and transfer of laboratory beakers during heating, cooling or relocation steps. Manufactured from stainless steel with plastic-coated jaws, the tongs protect glass surfaces from scratching while maintaining a firm hold on vessels. Overall length is 260 mm and the clamping range of 40–100 mm accommodates a wide selection of common beaker diameters used in analytical and preparative work. Net weight is 0,170 kg, offering a balanced feel for controlled handling near hotplates, water baths or workbenches. The plastic coating on the contact surfaces reduces slippage risk compared with bare metal grips and helps preserve glassware integrity during repeated transfers. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer Usbeck, these tongs serve as a standard accessory in chemistry, biology and materials laboratories. Their length and span make them practical for medium-sized laboratory glassware in research, teaching and quality-control environments where safe vessel manipulation is essential.

Questions about Beaker Tongs St.St. 250 mm
What is this article?
Beaker Tongs St.St. 250 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Usbeck 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.
