Triangles for Placing Pots
Product Code : SCL-CL-11566
Triangles for Placing Pots (SKU SCL-CL-11566) are porcelain supports that sit on a tripod stand and hold crucibles and other small porcelain pots directly over an open flame. They serve strong-heating practicals in school and college chemistry laboratories, from ignition to dehydration work. Science Lab Supplies handles orders for the triangles from Ambala, India, covering single schools as well as contractors fitting out several laboratories.
Specifications
Three facts describe these porcelain pot triangles, and the table records each one with the SKU. In short, the item is a porcelain tray-type support for placing pots, intended for open-flame chemistry, where a crucible is heated directly rather than through a gauze; in use it cradles the pot so the flame reaches its base.

Applications and Experiments for the Triangles for Placing Pots
When a crucible must be heated strongly, it is set in a triangle on a tripod so the burner flame plays directly on its base. The porcelain triangle keeps the pot centred during heating, making it useful school chemistry lab equipment in India for ignition and dehydration practicals.
- Class 9–10 science: heating crucibles when burning magnesium or heating salts, then lifting them off with Crucible Tongs.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: heating hydrated salts to constant mass, cooling the crucible in a Glass Desiccator between weighings.
- B.Sc. practicals: igniting precipitates in crucibles during gravimetric analysis.
- Comparing direct heating in a triangle with indirect heating on a Ceramic Mesh.
The triangle becomes very hot during use; let it cool on the tripod and handle crucibles only with tongs.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Triangles for Placing Pots are supplied as porcelain supports for placing pots over an open flame. Crucibles, tripods, tongs and burners are separate items, and any optional accessories you request are shown on the quotation, so the full heating set can be priced in one document.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order one triangle for a demonstration bench or enough for each student group. You receive a quotation that states packing, delivery time and price for that number, and matching crucibles and tripods can be priced on it as well for a single delivery.
Being a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. To price triangles with matching crucibles, message the team from the contact page or save both in the enquiry cart; bid documents belong on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are these triangles used for?
They hold crucibles and small porcelain pots on a tripod so the pot can be heated directly in an open flame, for example when igniting a precipitate or dehydrating a salt.
What material are they made of?
The triangles are porcelain, a material that tolerates the direct flame heating used in ignition and dehydration experiments, and they are intended for open-flame chemistry.
Who supplies the Triangles for Placing Pots?
These triangles are quoted by Science Lab Supplies and shipped from its Ambala base in India. The same itemised quotation is prepared for an individual school, a distributor or a contractor bidding on a laboratory tender.
Which crucible size fits the triangle?
Crucible sizes vary between syllabuses, so send the crucible size you use through the contact page and a suitable match will be confirmed on the quotation before dispatch.
