Flask Tongs
Flask Tongs (Product Code: SLE/GFL/16) are stainless steel tongs with cork lined rectangular jaws that close around the body of a flask and hold it firmly, whether it is a small 100 ml flask or a large 2000 ml one. They let students and technicians lift hot or wet glassware from a hot plate, tripod or water bath without touching it. A practical accessory for every chemistry bench, they are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, and supplied with its lab glassware to schools, colleges and laboratories.
Key Details

| Material | Stainless steel |

Typical Use
After a solution has been boiled on a tripod and gauze or a hot plate, the tongs are used to take the flask off the heat and set it down on a heat-resistant mat, or to swirl it during a titration or dissolution while it is still warm. Crucible tongs, with their narrow pointed tips, are meant for small objects; the broad rectangular jaws of flask tongs spread the grip across the curved glass instead, so a conical, flat bottom or round bottom flask does not twist or slip.
The cork lining cushions the glass and gives a secure, non-scratching contact. Keep the jaws out of direct flame so the cork does not scorch, support large, full flasks from underneath as well when moving them any distance, and wipe the tongs dry after use to keep the steel and cork in good condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size of flask can the tongs hold?
They grip flasks from 100 ml up to 2000 ml.
Why are the jaws lined with cork?
Cork gives a firm, cushioned grip on smooth glass and avoids the metal-on-glass contact that can scratch or chip a flask.
Can I use them for beakers?
They are designed for flasks. For beakers, Beaker Tongs give a more secure hold on the straight sides and rim.
Can the tongs be held in a flame?
No. The stainless steel will tolerate heat, but the cork lining should be kept away from direct flame.
Is there a warranty?
Warranty terms are confirmed with the quotation — contact us for details.
Can you supply a set for every bench in a school lab?
Yes. Tell us the quantity and delivery location, and we can quote the tongs together with any flasks or beakers you need.
