Tongs, Beaker 2
Product Code : SCL-AM-11574
These precision beaker tongs are essential safety instruments designed for the manual handling of heated borosilicate glassware in secondary and higher education laboratories. They provide a secure, non-slip grip on vessels ranging from fifty milliliters to two thousand milliliters. By isolating the user from thermal hazards, they facilitate safe chemical mixing and pouring in alignment with modern STEM and TVET science curricula.

Educational Benefits & Features
Feature: Polyvinyl Chloride-coated jaws.
Benefit: Increases the coefficient of friction on smooth glass surfaces, preventing accidental slippage and hazardous chemical spills during transport or pouring.
Feature: Scissor-action handles.
Benefit: Provides a significant mechanical advantage, allowing students to maintain stable, one-handed control over heavy, liquid-filled containers without excessive force.
Feature: Extended handle length.
Benefit: Establishes a safe physical distance between the student's hand and heat sources, such as Bunsen burners or electric hot plates, minimizing the risk of thermal injury.
Feature: Bowed jaw architecture.
Benefit: Distributes mechanical pressure evenly around the circumference of the beaker, reducing the likelihood of localized stress fractures in delicate glassware compared to standard pliers.
Feature: Precision-riveted lap joint.
Benefit: Ensures fluid movement and long-term structural integrity, preventing jaw misalignment even after repeated high-temperature exposure and sterilization cycles.
Curriculum Alignment
This instrument is calibrated to support Middle and High School STEM programs, specifically meeting Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for modules involving "Matter and Its Interactions" and energy transfer. Furthermore, it complies with Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) benchmarks for professional laboratory safety and industrial hygiene training.
