Heating a crucible strongly, whether to ignite a precipitate in gravimetric analysis, find ash or moisture content, or bring a sample to constant mass, needs a support that holds the crucible steady without shading it from the flame. The three ceramic rods touch the crucible at just three points, so most of its surface is exposed to the heat, and ceramic will not react with or mark a platinum crucible the way bare metal can.
Mounted on a support stand, the ring lets you raise or lower the crucible to set the gap between the gas flame and the crucible bottom; on a tripod it gives a fixed working height. Set the rods by hand to the crucible before lighting the burner, let everything cool before adjusting again, and lift hot crucibles only with tongs.

What crucible sizes does the Crucible Retort Ring hold?
The Crucible Retort Ring holds crucibles from 0 to 70 mm. The three clamping rods are set by hand to the size of the crucible in use, so one ring can serve several crucible sizes.
Can the Crucible Retort Ring be used with platinum crucibles?
Yes. The Crucible Retort Ring also fits platinum crucibles. Its ceramic clamping rods hold the crucible at three points, which avoids bare metal contact with the platinum during heating.
