MEDILAB Clay Pipe Triangles are high-temperature porcelain-tube supports used for securely holding crucibles during direct heating over a Bunsen burner or other laboratory heat sources. Designed in an equilateral triangular form with twisted wire supports, these triangles provide a stable, heat-resistant platform essential for ignition, ashing, and high-temperature analytical work. Their durability and reliability make them indispensable in laboratories that require precise and safe heating operations.

Key Features

• High-quality porcelain tubing for exceptional heat resistance
• Robust metal wire frame (thick or thin wire options) for secure support
• Unglazed pipes for improved friction and grip during heating
• Stable equilateral triangular design ensures uniform crucible support
• Withstands repeated exposure to direct flame without cracking
• Lightweight, easy to handle, and suitable for continuous use
• Ideal for educational, research, QC/QA, and industrial labs
