| ,Our selection of Dumont® tweezers ranges from the most popular pattern - #5, to a variety of self-closing and ceramic tips. These instruments are excellent for cellular work, splinter removal, electronic component handling, and sample preparation. WPI is proud to offer a Dumont‘ tweezer with the finest tips in the world - 0.025 x 0.015 mm. Several tweezers are available in titanium for work in NMR scanner, magnetic fields, salt water or other applications where a non-magnetic instrument is the preferred choice. The materials used to manufacture tweezers vary in their properties. Stainless steel is the most common metal used to manufacture instruments. It has a hardness of 55-56 on the Rockwell scale. Though it is corrosion-resistant, if not properly cleaned and maintained, it can rust and stain. The maximum temperature resistance of stainless steel is 350°C. Inox is similar to stainless steel and has virtually the same properties. Dumoxel is used in some Dumont® tweezers for its excellent corrosion resistance. It has a hardness of 36 on the Rockwell scale making it much more pliable than stainless steel. The tips of the tweezers will bend with much less force applied. Dumoxel is also non-magnetic and has a maximum temperature resistance of 350°C. Dumostar is another material used in Dumont® tweezers. It is 100% non-corrosive and non-magnetic. It rates a 62 on the Rockwell hardness scale making it very strong and sturdy for fine tips. The maximum temperature resistance of Dumostar is 550°C. Titanium is a versatile material that offers many unique qualities. It is 40% lighter than stainless steel making it an excellent choice when hand fatigue due to excessive use is an issue. It is 100% non-corrosive even in salt water and has a hardness of 37 on the Rockwell scale. |
