Description
Crucible tongs in 18/10 steel with plastic handle measure 250 mm in overall length and are intended for safe handling of hot crucibles, dishes and small laboratory vessels. The stainless-steel working ends provide corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, while the plastic-coated grips improve comfort and thermal insulation during use. Maximum recommended temperature for the handle region is 145 °C. With a net weight of only 0,08 kg the tongs remain light and easy to manoeuvre yet sufficiently robust for routine laboratory transfer tasks. They are suitable for moving porcelain or metal crucibles between hot plates, furnaces and cooling areas, as well as for general gripping of small heated objects. These crucible tongs from manufacturer Bochem offer a practical combination of stainless-steel jaws and insulated handles for everyday thermal handling work in analytical and preparative laboratories.

Questions about Crucible tong 18/10 steel, w. plastic, handle, L=250mm
What is this article?
Crucible tong 18/10 steel, w. plastic, handle, L=250mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Bochem 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.
