Aluminium Petri Dish 3 Inch with Lid (Moisture Tin) – 75 mm x 50 mm (3 x 2 Inches)

Our 75mm x 50mm Aluminium Petri Dish (Moisture Tin) is the preferred choice for laboratories requiring extra depth for bulkier samples. Known as the 3 x 2 inch deep-form tin, it provides double the vertical capacity of standard moisture dishes, making it ideal for coarse soil aggregates, grain analysis, and large-volume chemical drying.

Constructed from high-purity, industrial-grade aluminium, this dish offers exceptional thermal conductivity for uniform heating in drying ovens. The heavy-duty, rust-proof walls are built to withstand repeated use in high-temperature environments without warping. Every dish is supplied with a precision-fit overlapping lid to prevent moisture gain or loss during the cooling and weighing process.

Key Features:

• Deep-Form Design: 50mm (2 inch) depth allows for larger sample volumes while maintaining a compact 75mm footprint.

• Efficient Heat Transfer: Pure aluminium walls ensure rapid and consistent temperature stabilization during oven drying.

• Corrosion & Rust Proof: Naturally resistant to chemical oxidation and humidity, perfect for long-term field and lab use.

• Secure Overlapping Lid: Designed to sit flush against the body, protecting samples from environmental contamination.

• Durable & Autoclavable: Shatterproof construction makes it a safer and more cost-effective alternative to glass in industrial settings.
