Iron Stand

Product Code : SCL-410/102

Iron Stand (Product Code: SCL-410/102), also called a retort stand, is a lab stand with clamp and boss head used to hold apparatus steady at a chosen height in school physics and chemistry labs. It stands on a 7 × 5 inch sheet-metal base, and the boss head lets the clamp be fixed at any point on the rod. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Iron Stand Used For?

In physics practicals the stand most often holds a simple pendulum: a split cork is gripped in the clamp, the thread passes through it, and the length is set before timing the oscillations. It also supports spring and Hooke's law set-ups and any apparatus that must stay at a fixed height while readings are taken.

Position the clamp so the load hangs over the base rather than beyond it, and tighten the boss head screw before attaching masses. Keep the stand on a level bench, away from the edge, and wipe the rod dry after use so the boss head continues to slide and lock smoothly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What comes with the Iron Stand?
The Iron Stand (SCL-410/102) comes with a clamp and a boss head fitted to its rod, on a 7 × 5 inch sheet-metal base. The boss head slides along the rod and locks the clamp at the height needed for pendulums and other set-ups.

Is the Iron Stand the same as a retort stand?
Yes, the Iron Stand is also known as a retort stand. Both names describe the same arrangement of base, vertical rod, boss head and clamp, used in physics labs for pendulums and springs and in chemistry labs for holding flasks and tubes.

What is the base size of the Iron Stand?
The Iron Stand has a sheet-metal base of 7 × 5 inch, about 178 × 127 mm. Rod height is not stated here, so if your experiment needs a particular height, confirm it through the ScienceLab contact page before ordering.

How do I keep the Iron Stand stable under load?
Keep the load of the Iron Stand over its base, tighten the boss head firmly before adding masses, and avoid extending the clamp far past the base edge. For heavier arrangements, place the stand on a level bench well away from the edge.

Who manufactures the Iron Stand?
The Iron Stand is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Buyers deal directly with the manufacturer for quotations, repeat orders and questions about clamps and boss heads.

Can Iron Stands be ordered for a whole lab?
Yes, Iron Stands can be quoted in lab-set and bulk quantities for schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. State how many stands you need and the delivery location, and the quotation comes straight from the manufacturer.
