Description
Pestle 56 size 5 with rough grinding surface is a laboratory pestle for mortar-based sample preparation, with a head diameter of 48 mm and a length of 185 mm. The rough contact face delivers effective abrasive action for grinding crystalline solids, coarse powders and materials that require stronger mechanical breakdown than a glazed surface provides. Defined head geometry allows controlled force transfer into the mortar, supporting reproducible particle size reduction in analytical and preparative work. Offered as a single piece from manufacturer Haldenwanger, this size-5 rough pestle suits chemistry, pharmacy and materials laboratories where robust grinding performance is essential. The textured face maintains grip on hard or brittle samples and complements glazed pestles when workflows call for both aggressive and gentle stages. Length and head diameter are proportioned for stable handling during extended grinding while remaining compatible with standard laboratory mortars of matching capacity.
This article is part of Mortars & pestles, in Dishes, crucibles & porcelain.

Questions about Pestles 56 unglazed, Size 5, lenght 185mm, Ø of head 48mm
What is this article?
Pestles 56 unglazed, Size 5, lenght 185mm, Ø of head 48mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Haldenwanger 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.
