Description
Crucible tongs, stainless, 400 mm are laboratory handling tools intended for the safe transfer of hot crucibles, dishes and similar vessels. Fabricated from stainless steel, they combine corrosion resistance with mechanical strength for repeated use near furnaces, hot plates and open flames. The double-bent jaw geometry improves grip security and leverage while keeping the operator’s hands at a safer distance from heat sources. Overall length is 400 mm and net weight is 0,235 kg, giving a practical balance of reach and control for routine analytical and preparative work. These tongs support ashing, ignition, gravimetric sample preparation and other high-temperature procedures common in chemistry, materials and quality-control laboratories. The double-bent stainless design from manufacturer Usbeck integrates readily into standard laboratory equipment sets. Supplied as one piece, the tongs offer durable everyday performance for teaching, research and industrial laboratory environments where reliable thermal handling is required.

Questions about Crucible Tongs St.St. 400 mm
What is this article?
Crucible Tongs St.St. 400 mm 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.
