Crucible with lid (Product Code: SLE/CH/198) is a small white porcelain vessel with a matching cover, used to hold solids while they are heated strongly, ignited or dried to constant mass. Chemistry teachers, college demonstrators and analytical lab staff use it for gravimetric exercises, and it is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) in Ambala as part of its chemistry lab equipment in India.

In school and college practicals this crucible is used to find the water of crystallisation in a hydrated salt, to burn magnesium ribbon and record the gain in mass as the oxide forms, and to ash small organic samples. It sits in a pipe clay triangle on a tripod over a burner; the lid is held slightly ajar when air is needed for combustion and closed to reduce loss of material through spitting. Heat, cool and weigh the empty crucible and lid first so the tare mass is known, then repeat the heating and weighing of the sample until the mass stops changing.
Handle the hot crucible only with tongs, let it cool on a heat-resistant mat or in a desiccator before weighing, and never pour cold liquid into a hot crucible, because a sudden temperature change can crack porcelain. When planning a school laboratory setup in India, departments usually order crucibles in class quantities so that every group can run its own heating-to-constant-mass experiment.
This crucible comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company that trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, and makes and supplies laboratory apparatus for schools, colleges and research labs. Purchase departments that need vendor registration details can note GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Read more on our company profile.

What is the capacity of this crucible?
It holds 30ml. This size suits the small sample masses used in school and undergraduate gravimetric work.
Is the lid included?
Yes. Each crucible is supplied with its lid, which helps control air access and reduces sample loss during heating.
Which surfaces are glazed?
The crucible is glazed inside and outside except the base. The glazed porcelain is chemical resistant and easy to wipe clean between experiments.
What maximum temperature is it rated for?
We have not published a temperature rating for this item. Please share your application through our contact page and we will advise before you order.
How should the crucible be cleaned?
Let it cool completely, then remove residues with water or a suitable dilute acid and dry it thoroughly. Heat it empty to constant mass before the next gravimetric run.
What should an institutional quotation request include?
Send the product code SLE/CH/198, the number of crucibles, delivery address and any tender reference. Adding tongs, triangles and tripods to the same enquiry gives one combined quote.
Do you supply in bulk or for export?
Yes. We supply schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets; tell us the quantity and destination so we can plan packing and shipping.
To order the Crucible with lid, send your requirement through our contact page, or add it to the enquiry cart with other items for a single quotation.
