Pipe clay Triangle 3″

A 3-inch pipe clay triangle is a laboratory tool, typically made of heat-resistant ceramic tubes mounted on a wire frame in a triangular shape. It’s designed to support crucibles or other small containers over a heat source like a Bunsen burner. The triangle provides a stable platform for heating while allowing direct contact with the flame.
Detailed Description:
Composition: It consists of three heat-resistant ceramic tubes, often made of fire clay, strung onto a wire frame that forms a triangle.
Purpose: The primary function of a pipe clay triangle is to support crucibles, evaporating dishes, or other small containers during heating.
Stability: The triangular shape and the ceramic tubes provide a stable base for the heated object, preventing it from tipping or rolling off the support.
Heat Resistance: The ceramic tubes are chosen for their ability to withstand high temperatures without melting or deforming, making them suitable for use with Bunsen burners and other heat sources.
Size: A 3-inch pipe clay triangle refers to the length of each side of the triangle.
Usage: It is placed on a tripod stand or ring support above a heat source, and the crucible or container is then placed on top of the triangle.
