12-inch (300mm) stainless steel crucible tongs manufactured in China are widely available for laboratory, foundry, and jewelry casting applications. These tools are specifically designed to safely handle hot crucibles, evaporating dishes, or beakers at high temperatures.

• Stainless steel crucible tongs with looped handles
• Bowed jaws with flat ends
• Can safely grasp hot crucibles, beakers or other apparatus measuring up to 4″ in diameter
• Tongs measure 8.25″ in total length
• Designed for use in professional laboratories, but is an ideal choice for science classrooms and household use

• Material: Typically made from 7mm thick heavy-duty stainless steel, often electrolytically polished for corrosion resistance.
• Dimensions: A precise length of 300mm (approximately 11.8–12 inches), which provides a safe distance from heat sources while offering enough leverage for lifting heavy crucibles.
• Grip Design: Features non-slip textured jaws (paws) for a secure fit against the crucible’s outer wall and an aircraft-grade center rivet for maximum stability during use.
• Material: High-quality stainless steel (often AISI 304 or 316), which is rust and corrosion-resistant.
• Design: Scissor-type mechanism with curved, serrated jaws to provide a non-slip, secure grip on crucibles.
• Safety Features:
  • Length: The 300mm (12″) length ensures hands remain at a safe distance from heat sources.
  • Rivet: Often features an aircraft-grade center rivet for maximum joint stability during lifting.
• Applications: Suitable for science labs, foundries, glass manufacturing, and even as heavy-duty charcoal tongs for grilling.

• Preheating: When gripping a searing hot crucible, preheat the tips of the tongs to avoid crucible rupture from thermal shock.
• Cleaning: Clean and dry the tongs after each use to maintain the polished finish and prevent contamination.
• PPE: Always wear heat-resistant gloves and safety goggles when handling materials at high temperatures.
