Alloy Test Tube and Thermometer Holder Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Alloy Test Tube and Thermometer Holder (Product Code: SLE/CH/03) is a chrome plated alloy holder with spring-loaded jaws that close on test tubes or thermometers from the smallest sizes up to 25 mm. The spring action grips without the user having to keep squeezing, which helps students hold glassware steadily and keep their hands clear of heat and chemicals. Made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, it is a practical piece of chemistry lab equipment for schools in India and for college teaching labs.

Specifications

Typical Use

The most common job for this holder is gripping a test tube while its contents are warmed over a flame, for example when dissolving a salt, observing a decomposition or checking for a gas. Grip the tube near its mouth, tilt it slightly, point the open end away from everyone and move it gently through the flame so the liquid heats evenly. Because the jaws are sprung, the tube stays secure even when a student adjusts their hold. The same holder can steady a thermometer while a reading is taken from a beaker or tube, keeping the bulb off the glass wall.

The chrome plating resists everyday splashes, but it is still good practice to wipe the jaws after use and let the holder cool before storing it. Check that the spring closes firmly before each session; a weak grip on a hot tube is a hazard. For whole-class practicals, many schools issue one holder per bench along with a rack and brush so each group has a complete heating set.
