Description
Crucible tongs are a type of laboratory equipment that are used to hold and handle crucibles, which are small, cup-shaped vessels that are used to hold materials that are being heated or melted. Crucible tongs are made of a heat-resistant material, such as stainless steel or ceramic, and have long handles that allow the user to grip the crucible without coming into contact with the hot material.
There are several types of crucible tongs available, including straight, bent, and hinged tongs. The type of crucible tongs that is best suited for a particular application depends on the size and shape of the crucible and the type of material being heated or melted. It is important to choose the right type of crucible tongs for the task at hand to ensure the safety of the user and to prevent accidents.
