Tripod Stand
Product Code : SCL-CL-11916
Tripod Stand (SKU SCL-CL-11916) is a three-legged metal platform that holds and raises beakers, flasks, dishes and crucibles above a burner so they can be heated hands-free. It is standard issue on school, college and training-lab benches wherever glassware is heated. Science Lab Supplies sends it out from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors, as part of its school chemistry lab equipment in India.
Specifications
The stand is a sturdy metal tripod frame with a flat top and three legs that spread to form a stable base. It keeps apparatus firmly in place and at a steady height over the flame, so the student does not have to hold anything while heating is in progress.

Applications and Experiments for the Tripod Stand
The tripod is the support in the classic burner-tripod-gauze arrangement. A wire gauze or pipe-clay triangle is placed on top, and a beaker, flask, evaporating dish or crucible sits on top, so heat can be applied evenly and safely in a wide range of practicals.
- Class 6–8 science: boiling water and heating solutions to observe changes of state.
- Class 9–10 science: evaporating a salt solution in a porcelain dish.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: heating crucibles on a pipe-clay triangle during ignition experiments.
- B.Sc. and diploma practicals: general heating of beakers and flasks over a burner.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Tripod Stand is supplied as a single unit as described above. A burner, wire gauze and pipe-clay triangle are separate items and can be listed on the same quotation; any optional accessories appear there too.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tripod stand used for in the lab?
It supports and raises apparatus above a burner so that beakers, flasks, dishes or crucibles can be heated without being held. A wire gauze or pipe-clay triangle usually sits on top of it.
Does the tripod come with a wire gauze?
No, it is quoted as the tripod alone. A wire gauze, pipe-clay triangle and burner are separate items and can be added to the same quotation.
Who supplies the Tripod Stand?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the stand from Ambala, India, for single units or complete class sets together with matching heating accessories.
Is the stand stable enough for student use?
Yes. The three-legged metal frame gives a firm base that stays in place during heating; keep it on a level, heat-resistant bench surface.
