Crucible & Beaker Tongs Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Crucible & Beaker Tongs (Product Code: SLE/GB/09) are 8 inch nickel plated steel tongs for picking up a hot crucible, evaporating dishes, flasks and small beakers during heating experiments. They keep fingers clear of the flame and of hot porcelain or glass in water-of-crystallisation practicals, evaporation to dryness and simple gravimetric work. Manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, they belong beside every Bunsen burner and are a standard line when buyers source crucible tongs for India lab benches.

Specifications

Typical Use

A classic use is heating hydrated copper sulphate in a crucible until its mass stops changing: the tongs lift the lid to check progress, move the hot crucible from the pipe-clay triangle to a heat-proof mat or desiccator to cool, and return it for another heating cycle. The same tongs take an evaporating dish off a tripod once a salt solution has been reduced, or steady the neck of a small flask while it is moved away from the burner.

Grip crucibles firmly around the body rather than by the rim, and keep the tips clean so that residues are not carried into a weighed sample. For larger hot beakers, a dedicated beaker tong with coated jaws gives a safer hold.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can these tongs pick up?
They are made for hot crucibles, evaporating dishes, flasks and small beakers — the items that are awkward or unsafe to hold by hand after heating.

How long are they?
8 inches, which keeps the hand a safe distance from the flame and the hot item while leaving good control.

Can I use them for large beakers?
They suit small beakers. For bigger, heavier beakers use our Beaker Tong, whose coated jaws are shaped to grip the beaker body.

How should I look after nickel plated tongs?
Let them cool, wipe off any spilled chemicals, and store them dry. Avoid leaving them in acid fumes, which can attack the plating over time.

Are they suitable for muffle furnace work?
Furnace-temperature suitability is not listed for these tongs; please contact us with your application before ordering.
