Applications and Experiments for the Cast Iron Tripod Stand
The tripod raises a vessel to a workable height above a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp so it can be heated evenly and safely. It suits middle-school science, CBSE Class 9–12 chemistry and B.Sc. inorganic practicals wherever solutions are boiled, evaporated or strongly heated.
- Boiling water or solutions in a Borosilicate Beaker on a wire gauze, then lifting it off with a Beaker Tong SS.
- Class 9 science: evaporating a salt solution in a dish to recover crystals.
- Heating a Croojiola (Pot) Porcelain on a pipe-clay triangle in ignition work.
- Supporting a water bath or sand bath for gentle, even heating.
The ring stays hot long after the flame is turned off, so let it cool before moving it and keep hands clear during heating.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each pack holds two cast iron tripod rings of 120 mm outer diameter, six threaded zinc-plated steel legs of 200 mm and an assembly guide, enough to build two tripods. Gauzes, triangles and burners can be added to the same quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How tall is the tripod and how wide is the ring?
It stands 200 mm high and the cast iron ring has a 120 mm outer diameter, which suits standard wire gauzes and ceramic or pipe-clay triangles.
Can the legs be removed?
Yes. The three zinc-plated steel legs have precision threads; they screw into the ring for use and unscrew again so the parts lie flat for storage or packing.
Who supplies the Cast Iron Tripod Stand?
The tripod comes from Science Lab Supplies, Ambala, India. One team prepares the quotation and dispatches the order, whether it is for a school, a college or a reseller, so questions about packing and delivery go to a single contact.
Do I need a wire gauze with the tripod?
For beakers and flasks, yes: a gauze spreads the flame and gives a flat, stable surface. Crucibles sit on a pipe-clay triangle instead.
