Description
Crucible tongs 400 mm, polished are extended laboratory handling tools for secure gripping and transfer of crucibles and similar vessels during heating, cooling and related sample work. At 400 mm overall length they give substantial reach, which is useful when working with deeper furnaces, larger hot zones or setups where greater distance from the heat source is preferred. The polished surface finish facilitates inspection of contact areas and supports routine cleaning between tasks in analytical, materials and teaching laboratories. Packed as a single piece, the tongs are suitable for dedicated furnace stations, shared instrument rooms and teaching laboratories that require a longer crucible-handling tool. These crucible tongs from manufacturer RSG sit in the standard laboratory tongs category for moving crucibles, dishes and comparable containers. The 400 mm length emphasises reach and leverage for thermal workflows, ashing steps and general laboratory operations where a longer polished tongs format improves safety distance without complicating everyday handling at the bench.
This article is part of Crucibles, in Dishes, crucibles & porcelain.

Questions about Crucible tong, double curved, 400mm
What is this article?
Crucible tong, double curved, 400mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes RSG 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.
