The Crucible Tong (Product Code: SCL-627/061) is a 200mm manual tong in chemical-resistant stainless steel with a low, flattened design, used to place, lift and carry hot crucibles, lids and small porcelain dishes. It keeps the user's hand at a safe distance from the flame and the heated ware during ignition and heating-to-constant-mass experiments. Made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, these crucible tongs for the lab are used by students, teachers and technicians in school, college and analytical laboratories.

The tong is the hand tool for every crucible practical: lifting a crucible of hydrated salt off the pipe clay triangle to cool and weigh it, tilting or replacing a crucible lid while magnesium ribbon burns, moving a hot china dish off the gauze after evaporation, and transferring ignited residues into a desiccator. It is also used to hold a strip of metal in the flame for combustion demonstrations.
Grip the crucible around its body rather than by the rim alone so it cannot tip, and hold the tong near the end of the handles, away from the hot tips. Place heated ware on a heat-resistant surface, never on a wet bench. Because stainless steel is chemical resistant, the tong copes with acidic fumes from heated samples; wipe it clean and dry after each session so residues do not build up on the tips.
This tong is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trade name ScienceLab, from its base in Ambala, Haryana, India. Our company profile describes the business and its product lines.

How long is the tong?
It is 200mm long, which keeps the hand clear of a Bunsen flame while still giving good control over small crucibles.
Will it rust?
It is made of stainless steel and is chemical resistant. Cleaning and drying it after use keeps the surface in good condition.
Can I lift a beaker with it?
It is intended for crucibles, lids and small dishes. For beakers, a purpose-made tong such as the Beaker Tongs gives a safer grip.
Can it hold magnesium ribbon while it burns?
Yes, it is often used this way in demonstrations. Hold the strip at arm's length over a heat-resistant mat and avoid looking straight at the bright flame.
Is there a warranty on the tong?
Warranty terms are set out in the quotation; please confirm them with us through the contact page.
Do you supply tongs for export or bulk orders?
Yes. Institutions and distributors in India and international markets can order in quantity; send the required number and destination for a quotation.
