Clay Pipe Triangles

Clay Pipe Triangles
With thick or thin wires, and pipes unglazed. A pipeclay triangle is a piece of laboratory apparatus that is used to support a crucible being heated by a Bunsen burner or other heat source. It is made of wires strung in an equilateral triangle on which are strung hollow ceramic, normally fire clay, tubes.
