Clay Pipe Triangle (Pipeclay Triangle)

Clay pipe triangles (pipeclay triangles) in 55mm, 65mm and 75mm sizes give heat-resistant support for heating crucibles at high temperatures.

These pipeclay triangles (also called clay triangles) hold crucibles safely while they're heated directly over a Bunsen burner. They're made from heat-resistant unglazed ceramic pipes threaded onto heavy-duty galvanised iron wire, which keeps them stable under intense heat. They're a basic tool for high school chemistry, university labs and industrial testing.

Key Features and Specifications

• Three sizes: To suit a range of standard crucible sizes:
  • 55mm x 8mm: For small crucibles (about 10ml to 20ml).
  • 65mm x 8mm: For medium crucibles (about 30ml to 50ml).
  • 75mm x 8mm: For larger crucibles (about 50ml to 100ml and up).
• Unglazed ceramic pipes: The 8mm thick ceramic sleeves shield the wire core from direct flame, which reduces corrosion and prevents cracking from heat.
• Heavy-duty twisted wire core: A thick galvanised iron wire frame keeps its shape under intense heat and resists sagging.
• Fits standard ring stands: The flexible wire ends can be shaped or rested securely on standard laboratory iron support rings.

Recommended Applications

• Supporting porcelain, silica or metal crucibles during ash testing and ignition experiments.
• High-temperature gravimetric analysis or melting chemical compounds in high school and university chemistry labs.
• Holding small evaporating dishes or lids directly over a Bunsen burner flame.
