Description

A Tong, Crucible is a laboratory tool used for handling and moving small, hot objects, such as crucibles, evaporating dishes, or small flasks.

The tool consists of two metal arms with pointed or V-shaped jaws that can be adjusted to grip the object securely. The arms are connected by a hinge and have insulated handles that protect the user’s hands from heat.

Tongs for crucibles are typically made of nickel-plated steel, which is durable and resistant to corrosion, and the pointed or V-shaped jaws provide a secure grip that prevents the object from slipping or spilling its contents.

Crucible tongs are used to handle hot crucibles or dishes that have been heated on a hotplate or over a flame, and are especially useful when working with corrosive or hazardous chemicals that require extra precautions.

Overall, Crucible Tongs are a safety tool that helps protect laboratory personnel from burns or other injuries while handling hot objects, and are commonly used in various scientific disciplines, including chemistry, metallurgy, and materials science.
