Description
Hard porcelain pestle, rough type 56/3, 175 mm long with a 42 mm head diameter, serves as a robust grinding tool for laboratory sample preparation. The rough porcelain surface provides effective friction for reducing particle size and homogenising solids in mortars. Its 175 mm overall length allows secure handling during extended grinding sessions, while the 42 mm grinding head diameter ensures broad contact for efficient material processing. Constructed entirely from hard porcelain, the pestle resists wear under typical laboratory mechanical stress and supports repeated use with powdered, crystalline or granular substances. This design suits chemistry, pharmaceutical and materials research workflows requiring consistent manual grinding performance. The pestle from manufacturer IDL GmbH matches the 56/3 series dimensions for compatibility with corresponding porcelain mortars. Supplied as a single piece, it integrates directly into standard labware sets for pestle applications without additional adaptation. The combination of length, head size and rough finish delivers reliable results in routine analytical and preparatory tasks across scientific environments.
This article is part of Mortars & pestles, in Dishes, crucibles & porcelain.

Questions about Pestle porcelain, rough, 56/3, 175 mm long, head Ø 42 mm
What is this article?
Pestle porcelain, rough, 56/3, 175 mm long, head Ø 42 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IDL GmbH for laboratory use. It sits in Mortars & pestles, inside Dishes, crucibles & porcelain, in Labware.
A mortar and pestle grind a solid by hand. Porcelain is the ordinary laboratory set. Agate and glass are chosen when the sample must not pick up porcelain dust. The unglazed grinding surface, not the glossy outside, does the work.
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.
