Pipestem Clay Triangle Laboratory Crucible Support

The Pipestem Clay Triangle, commonly called a clay triangle, is a laboratory heating accessory designed to support a crucible above a Bunsen burner or other appropriate heat source during high-temperature laboratory procedures. It typically consists of three lengths of heat-resistant ceramic or pipe-clay tubing arranged in a triangular shape and held together with metal wire. The triangular opening supports the crucible while allowing its lower portion to be exposed to the flame.
