Clay Pipe Triangle Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

The Clay Pipe Triangle (Product Code: SCL-621/058) is a triangular pipe clay support that sits on a tripod stand and cradles a crucible, so the crucible can be heated directly by a Bunsen burner or another heat source. It is a basic item of chemistry lab equipment for any experiment in which a small quantity of solid must be heated strongly, and is used by students, teachers and laboratory staff in schools and colleges. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

Typical practicals include heating a hydrated salt such as copper sulphate in a crucible until its mass stops changing to find the water of crystallisation, burning magnesium ribbon in a lidded crucible to study the mass change on forming the oxide, and igniting precipitates or residues. Unlike a wire gauze, which spreads the heat for glassware, the triangle leaves the base of the crucible open so the flame plays on it directly and higher temperatures are reached.

Set the triangle securely across the top of a tripod stand in the lab, seat the crucible so it rests firmly in the triangle rather than perched on one side, and light the burner only once everything is steady. Always move the crucible with tongs, and leave both the crucible and the triangle to cool in place before touching them. Fired clay is brittle, so avoid dropping the triangle or plunging it into water while hot, and replace it if the clay pipes crack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which crucible sizes does the triangle suit?
Triangle dimensions are not stated in our current listing. Send us the size of the crucibles you use through the contact page and we will confirm the fit.

Why use a pipe clay triangle rather than a wire gauze?
The triangle exposes the base of the crucible to the flame for strong, direct heating; a gauze spreads the heat and is meant for beakers and flasks.

Is a crucible included?
This listing is for the triangle. Crucibles are offered separately, for example the Crucible with lid.

Can it be used on something other than a tripod?
It is intended for a tripod stand. If you plan to rest it on a retort ring, tell us the ring size and we will advise on compatibility.

How long does a clay triangle last?
Service life depends on how often and how hard it is heated and how carefully it is handled; inspect it before each practical and replace it once the clay shows cracks.

Do you supply triangles in bulk for school labs and export?
Yes. We supply institutions and distributors in India and international markets; share the quantity and destination to receive a quotation.
