Retort Squat Base
Product Code : LSK-PL-10292
Retort Squat Base (SKU LSK-PL-10292) is a compact, stump-shaped cast iron base that holds a 10 mm support rod upright, giving a low, steady footing for clamps and small apparatus on the bench. Physics and chemistry labs in schools and colleges use it wherever a short stand is needed. Science Lab Supplies manufactures this base at its works on Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and sells it directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The base is cast iron in a squat, stump shape and finished in stoved enamel. A thumb-screw clamp grips a rod of 10 mm diameter, so the rod can be fitted and removed by hand without tools. The unit weighs 0.57 kg, enough to keep a short stand steady on the bench.

Applications and Experiments for the Retort Squat Base
The squat base turns a 10 mm rod into a short support stand for everyday practical work. It belongs with the school physics lab equipment in India used from middle school to Class 12, and with B.Sc. benches, wherever a light clamp, pendulum or pulley must be held steady close to the bench top.
- Class 9–10 physics: holding a simple pendulum or spring on a short rod.
- Class 11–12 physics: supporting pulleys or small clamps in mechanics practicals.
- Chemistry practicals: holding a clamp for a test tube at low height.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each Retort Squat Base is supplied as a single unit: the stoved-enamel cast iron base with its thumb-screw clamp fitted. The listing covers the base only, so a 10 mm rod, boss heads and clamps can be added to the quotation if you want to assemble a complete stand.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations can cover one base for a teacher's bench or a quantity for every workstation in a laboratory. Each quotation from Science Lab Supplies sets out packing, delivery time and price for the number you name, and rods, boss heads or retort stands can be listed on the same document.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and is able to ship to buyers in Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria and Kenya. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU).

Frequently Asked Questions
What rod size does the Retort Squat Base take?
It accepts rods of 10 mm diameter. The rod is held by a thumb-screw clamp on the base, so it can be tightened and released by hand whenever the set-up changes.
What is the base made of?
It is a stump-shaped cast iron casting finished in stoved enamel, weighing 0.57 kg.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
It is the manufacturer. Science Lab Supplies produces this base at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, so your quotation is issued by the maker rather than a reseller.
Can squat bases be quoted in bulk for a school tender?
Yes. Send the quantity, delivery location and tender specification for an item-wise quotation that includes any rods or clamps listed.
Related Stands and Supports
A squat base is one part of a bench support system. These items add a full-size base, a ready stand with boss head and clamp, a pulley that fixes to a rod, and a pendulum set that needs a firm support, so a mechanics or chemistry bench can be equipped on one quotation.
