[Aldridge, 29/09/2017] –Winward Engineering Ltd, an engineering company based in Aldridge, West Midlands, offers an extensive range of extremely corrosion resistant zirconium crucibles. Ideal for a wide range of chemical and manufacturing applications, their selection of crucible products come with highly competitive prices. They are a cost-effective and durable choice for science and tech laboratories.

Highest Quality Zirconium Crucibles

Winward Engineering Ltd. is highly specialised in the reproduction of crucible products for the scientific and mining sectors. Zirconium is well-known for its remarkable corrosion resistant qualities, making it ideal for chemical processing and a wide range of other applications.

Zirconium is documented to withstand a wider range of caustics and acids compared to other common fabricating materials.

Winward Engineering manufactures all of their zirconium crucibles at their Aldridge plant, supplying industries across the UK with high-quality and durable crucibles.

They have a range of zirconium crucibles available, complete with their own crucible lids. Currently, there are 16 sizes available, with the smallest capacity starting at 10mland a height of 25mm. Their largest crucible has a capacity of 1,500ml and has a height of 108mm.

Benefits of Zirconium Crucibles

Zirconium crucibles are more durable than those made from nickel, with a longevity ratio of 20 to 1. They do not require special platinum tipped tongs to handle and can withstand sudden contact with cold and metallic surfaces without any harmful effects.

Zirconium is also less likely to react with low-fusing metals as compared to platinum and can be cleaned using just about any cleaning agents except hydrofluoric acid.

These crucibles are highly adaptable to the needs of any analytical chemistry laboratory.
