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 suits school, college and training-lab benches wherever glassware has to be heated. Supply of the stand to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors is handled by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, within its school chemistry lab equipment in India.
Specifications
The metal tripod's full specification is in the table below. In short, it is a sturdy three-legged tripod frame on a stable base that securely holds, stabilises and elevates apparatus over the flame, so nothing has to be held by hand while heating or another procedure 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 it, and a beaker, flask, evaporating dish or crucible rests on top, so heat can be applied evenly and safely across a wide range of school and college practicals.
- Class 6–8 science: boiling water in borosilicate Beakers to observe changes of state.
- Class 9–10 science: evaporating a salt solution in a 150 ml Porcelain Dish.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: heating crucibles on a pipe-clay triangle during ignition experiments, then lifting them off with Crucible Tongs.
- 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 metal unit as described above. A burner, wire gauze and pipe-clay triangle can be listed on the same quotation, so a complete heating station for each bench can be priced together and delivered in one consignment.

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 can be placed on top of it first.
Can a wire gauze be ordered with the tripod?
Yes. The stand is quoted on its own, and a wire gauze, pipe-clay triangle and burner can be added to the same quotation so each heating station is complete when it arrives.
Who supplies the Tripod Stand?
The stand reaches buyers through Science Lab Supplies, which works from Ambala, India, and can quote single units or complete class sets together with matching heating accessories.
Is the stand stable enough for student use?
Yes. The sturdy three-legged metal frame gives a stable base that stays firmly in place during heating; keep it on a level, heat-resistant bench surface and let it cool before moving it.
