Retort Stand with Boss Head and Clamp
Product Code : SCL-PL-12397
Retort Stand with Boss Head and Clamp (SKU SCL-PL-12397) is a general-purpose laboratory stand that holds glassware and small apparatus at a chosen height during practical work. It serves physics, chemistry and biology benches in schools and colleges. Science Lab Supplies manufactures this stand at its Plot 448 factory in the HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sells it directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The stand pairs a 23 in (about 58 cm) stainless-steel rod with a 5 x 8 in (about 13 x 20 cm) cast-iron base for a stable footing. A boss head, also called a coupling, grips the rod and carries the clamp, whose adjustable screw closes on the item being held.

Applications and Experiments for the Retort Stand
A retort stand is the basic support of school and college practicals. It can hold a pendulum, spring or pulley for mechanics work and position glassware for heating, filtration and titration set-ups, so physics, chemistry and biology departments can share one stand design and keep their bench equipment uniform.
- Class 11–12 physics: clamping a simple pendulum or a helical spring.
- Class 9–12 chemistry: holding a funnel for filtration or glassware over a burner.
- B.Sc. laboratories: supporting glassware, thermometers and small apparatus.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each stand is supplied with the stainless-steel rod, the cast-iron base, the boss head and the clamp with adjustable screw, ready to assemble on the bench. Glassware, thermometers and other items to be held are not part of the set and can be added to the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover a single stand or enough stands for every bench in a laboratory. Each quotation from Science Lab Supplies sets out the packing, delivery time and price for the quantity requested, and other school physics lab equipment in India can go on that quote too.
With an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. To start an order, write through the contact page, add the stand to the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page for institutional purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the boss head used for on a retort stand?
The boss head is the coupling that joins the clamp to the vertical rod. It slides along the rod and locks at any height, so glassware or apparatus sits exactly where the experiment needs it.
What are the rod and base sizes of this model?
The rod is stainless steel, 23 in (about 58 cm) long, and the cast-iron base measures 5 x 8 in (about 13 x 20 cm). These are the standard dimensions of this model.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies makes this stand itself. Production takes place in its own factory in the HSIIDC Industrial Area at Saha, Ambala, India, so quotations come from the maker, not a reseller.
Can retort stands be quoted in bulk for a school or tender?
Yes. Send the number of stands, the delivery address and any tender specification through the contact page for an item-wise quotation matching the specification above.
Related Physics Lab Stands and Supports
These four items from the Physics Lab range work alongside a retort stand. Separate bases allow extra stand assemblies, while a rod-mounted pulley and a mass set extend the stand into force experiments, and all of them can share one quotation with the stand itself.
- Retort Base — separate base for building additional stand assemblies.
- Retort Squat Base — squat-style base option for bench set-ups.
- Pulley on Rod with Clamp — pulley that mounts on a laboratory rod.
- Mass Set with Hangers — masses and hangers for force, pressure and torque work.
