MEDILAB Clay Pipe Triangles are essential support tools used in laboratories for heating crucibles over a Bunsen burner or other high-temperature heat sources. Constructed with durable porcelain tubes mounted on twisted wire, they provide a stable, heat-resistant platform during ignition, ashing, melting, and high-temperature analysis. Their reliability and thermal endurance make them indispensable in academic, analytical, and industrial laboratories handling frequent heating applications.

Key Features

• High-strength porcelain tubes ensure excellent thermal shock resistance
• Heat-resistant design suitable for direct flame contact
• Stable triangular structure for safe crucible placement
• Durable twisted wire frame provides rigidity and long service life
• Unglazed tubes improve heat distribution and grip
• Lightweight, easy to handle, and compatible with standard laboratory supports
• Suitable for repeated high-temperature use without deformation

Material Specifications

• Material: High-temperature porcelain (unglazed)
• Thermal Properties: Withstands direct flame and high heating cycles. Excellent resistance to thermal shock and rapid temperature changes
• Chemical Properties: Resistant to most reagents used in heating/ashing procedures
• Mechanical Properties: Strong, chip-resistant tubes. Rigid wire framing for dimensional stability

 Technical Specifications

• Available Sizes: Common lab sizes: 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm triangle side lengths
• Tube Diameter: Standard porcelain tube sizes for uniform support
• Tolerance: High-dimensional accuracy for consistent crucible stability
• Wire Material: Galvanized or nickel-chrome steel wires (based on order specification)
• Accessories Included: Supplied as a standalone heating support accessory

Handling & Precautions

• Place securely on an iron ring or tripod before inserting a crucible
• Avoid dropping or striking the porcelain tubes to prevent chipping
• Allow gradual cooling after high-temperature use to prevent thermal shock
• Clean with a soft brush once cooled; avoid harsh abrasives
• Do not expose yourself to extreme temperature changes suddenly
• Inspect wires routinely for signs of fatigue in long-term use

 Applications

• Ideal for supporting crucibles during ignition, ashing, and calcination processes
• Used extensively in chemistry, analytical laboratories, and metallurgical testing
• Suitable for pharmaceutical QA/QC labs, chemical industries, and academic research institutions
• Essential in teaching laboratories for demonstrating high-temperature experiments
• Supports workflow involving heating solids, gravimetric analysis, and material testing
