Product Code : SCL-CL-12011
Stainless Steel Crucible Tongs (SKU SCL-CL-12011) are scissor-type tongs for gripping, lifting and moving hot crucibles, evaporating dishes and other small high-temperature vessels. Made from grade 304 stainless steel, 200 mm long with curved serrated jaws, they keep hands away from the flame or furnace during ignition, calcination and gravimetric work. They suit chemistry teaching, student practicals and lab technicians in school and college labs. Science Lab Supplies handles quotations for the tongs from Ambala, India for schools, colleges, institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Material, jaw and joint details of the 200 mm grade 304 tongs are laid out row by row below. In short, a riveted scissor joint keeps the curved, corrugated jaws aligned for a non-slip hold on a crucible, wide finger loops allow use with heat-resistant gloves, and the steel tolerates temperatures up to 500 °C.

Applications and Experiments for Stainless Steel Crucible Tongs
These tongs move hot crucibles and dishes safely between burner, furnace, cooling mat and desiccator. They serve as a basic safety tool for a practical that heats solids strongly, which makes them useful school chemistry lab equipment in India and a practical item for college analysis labs.
- Class 11 chemistry: heating substances in a crucible and weighing before and after on the 0.01 g Laboratory Scales Electronic.
- B.Sc. chemistry: gravimetric analysis, ignition to constant weight and ash determination.
- School science: holding hot evaporating dishes during crystallisation over a burner.
- Metallurgy and materials labs: handling small hot samples from a muffle furnace.
Grip the crucible at the rim and move it steadily, wearing eye protection such as reusable Safety Glasses. Warm the tips before touching a very hot porcelain crucible, and do not quench red-hot tongs in cold water.
Standard Scope of Supply
One pack contains two Stainless Steel Crucible Tongs and a high-temperature safety handling and maintenance guide. Porcelain crucibles, pipe-clay triangles and heat-resistant gloves can be added to the quotation so the ignition set arrives complete on one order.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a single pack or enough for every bench in a chemistry lab. Each quotation shows packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and porcelain crucibles, dishes or other chemistry lab equipment in India can be listed with the tongs.
Backed by an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter that is able to ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Packs for each ignition bench can be priced from a message on the contact page, a crucible-set list in the enquiry cart, or a tender lodged at the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are these tongs made of?
Grade 304 stainless steel, which resists rust, oxidation and chemical splashes and keeps its strength at working temperatures of up to 500 °C near flames and furnaces.
Can the tongs be autoclaved?
Yes. The tongs are reusable, fully autoclavable and chemically sanitisable, and they resist acids, alkalis and organic solvents, so they can be cleaned thoroughly between practicals.
From whom can I buy these crucible tongs?
Science Lab Supplies sources the tongs and dispatches them from Ambala, India in packs of two, quoting them for schools, colleges and tender buyers alone or with crucibles and burners.
Can I lift a large beaker with them?
No. The curved jaws are shaped to match the outer radius of crucibles and similar small vessels. For large straight-walled glassware, use dedicated beaker tongs instead.
