Pipeclay triangle

Pipeclay triangle

A Pipeclay Triangle is a piece of laboratory apparatus.

It is used in the laboratory much in the same way as a wire gauze, that is to support another piece of apparatus on a tripod, which is undergoing heating by a bunsen burner or other heat source.

Unlike the wire gauze, which primarily supports glassware such as a beaker, laboratory flasks, or an evaporating basin, the pipeclay triangle normally supports a crucible.

The pipeclay triangle is made of wire enclosed in pipeclay tubes.
