Crucible Tongs
Product Description
Crucible Tongs are specialized metal tools designed for safely handling hot crucibles, evaporating dishes, and other laboratory apparatus exposed to high temperatures. Made from durable, heat-resistant metals such as stainless steel or nickel-plated steel, these tongs provide a firm grip, ensuring the safe transfer of heated items during laboratory procedures, including heating, melting, and chemical reactions.
Primary Uses
Laboratory Applications
- Used for gripping and transferring hot crucibles, evaporating dishes, and other lab containers during heating processes.
- Essential for handling apparatus in flame tests, melting point determination, and chemical synthesis.
- Facilitates safe manipulation of materials in high-temperature experiments.
Industrial Applications
- Employed in quality control and materials testing labs within manufacturing industries requiring heating of samples.
- Used in metal processing and ceramic industries for handling small heated parts safely.
Secondary Uses
