Applications and Experiments for the Cast Iron Tripod Stand
The tripod raises a vessel to the right height above a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp so it can be heated evenly and safely. It is used from middle-school science through CBSE Class 9–12 chemistry to B.Sc. inorganic practicals, wherever solutions are boiled, evaporated or strongly heated.
- Boiling water or solutions in a beaker on a wire gauze.
- Class 9 science: evaporating a salt solution in a dish to recover crystals.
- Heating a crucible on a pipe-clay triangle in gravimetric or ignition work.
- Supporting a water 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
The product description lists 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 are separate.

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 pipe-clay triangles.
Can the legs be removed?
Yes. The three zinc-plated legs screw into the ring and can be taken off for compact storage or packing.
Who supplies the Cast Iron Tripod Stand?
The tripod is supplied by Science Lab Supplies, Ambala, India. Quotations for schools, colleges and resellers are prepared by the same team that dispatches the order.
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.
