Description
Stainless steel crucible, 50 mm Ø is a durable laboratory crucible designed for routine melting, heating and sample preparation work. Fabricated from stainless steel with a 1 mm wall thickness, it combines mechanical robustness with good thermal conductivity for controlled heating on hotplates, burners or in furnaces. The outer diameter of 50 mm and a nominal volume of 0,075 l make this format suitable for small- to medium-scale solid or melt samples in analytical, teaching and general chemistry laboratories. Net weight is 0,087 kg, so the vessel remains easy to handle with tongs while still offering a stable base during heating cycles. Supplied as a single piece, the crucible is intended for repeated laboratory use where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency matter. This model from manufacturer Usbeck fits standard crucible workflows such as ashing, flux fusions, drying residues and intermediate holding of heated materials. Smooth stainless surfaces support straightforward cleaning between runs and help limit cross-contamination when protocols require sequential sample batches. Choose this 50 mm stainless steel crucible when a compact, reusable metal vessel with defined geometry is required for everyday thermal laboratory operations.

Questions about Crucible St.St. 50 mm D.
What is this article?
Crucible St.St. 50 mm D. is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Usbeck for laboratory use. It sits in Crucibles, inside Dishes, crucibles & porcelain, in Labware.
A crucible holds a sample in a furnace or over a flame, at temperatures that would soften a borosilicate beaker. Porcelain, platinum and glazed ceramic are different articles. The form, tall or wide, decides how fast a sample dries or ashes.
A dish is an open vessel for drying, evaporating or holding a solid. Porcelain and glazed ceramic take a higher temperature than borosilicate glass, which is why a crucible, not a beaker, goes into a furnace. A watch glass covers, or holds a small amount for drying. A mortar is for grinding. The temperature and the chemical, not the shape alone, choose the material. Laboratory ware of this family is listed under ISO laboratory ware.
