Description
Pestle 175 x 42 mm is a porcelain laboratory pestle intended for grinding and homogenising solid samples with a mortar. Length is 175 mm and the grinding surface diameter is 42 mm, with a rough grinding surface at the head for efficient trituration. Porcelain offers a durable working surface for repeated mechanical reduction of powders, salts, and other solids in chemistry, pharmacy, and materials laboratories. The larger head diameter relative to smaller pestles supports broader contact with the mortar bowl during sample preparation. Supplied individually packed from manufacturer Marienfeld, this pestle is convenient as a dedicated tool or replacement for a matching porcelain mortar set. Clear dimensional specification aids selection against existing mortar sizes used in teaching, research, and routine analytical workflows. The rough head finish is designed for controlled particle-size reduction under standard laboratory handling. Suitable where a mid-size porcelain pestle with a 42 mm grinding face is needed for everyday grinding and homogenisation tasks.
This article is part of Mortars & pestles, in Dishes, crucibles & porcelain.

Questions about Pestles 175x42 mm (length x diameter),
What is this article?
Pestles 175x42 mm (length x diameter), is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Marienfeld 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.
