Crucible Tongs

Description

Crucible Tongs

The crucible tongs lift hot crucibles, containers and instruments. Their long arms keep the hands away from heat and steam.

Three lengths

We offer 32, 43 and 50 cm. In addition, the shortest suits bench work. Meanwhile, the longest reaches into deep sterilisers and ovens.

Why use crucible tongs

Hot items can burn through gloves. Tongs keep a safe distance. As a result, staff handle heat with more confidence.

Typical uses

Labs lift crucibles from burners and furnaces. In addition, sterilising rooms use tongs to move hot containers. They also help in teaching labs.

Grip

Close the jaws firmly around the item. Then lift slowly and keep it level. Also, set it on a heat-safe surface.

Choosing a length

Pick the length that clears the heat source easily. For instance, deep sterilisers need 43 or 50 cm. However, bench burners need only 32 cm.

Before you lift

Check that the jaws close evenly and do not slip. In addition, plan where the hot item will go before you pick it up. That way, the move is short and steady.
