A base that stands on three legs touches the bench at only three points, so it sits firmly without rocking even when the work surface is not perfectly flat. That makes this tripod a steady foundation for a retort stand: screw a support rod into the thread, fit bossheads and clamps, and hold flasks, funnels or condensers above the bench. The open space between the legs also leaves room to place a burner, beaker or small hot plate close beneath the rod.
Choose the 2.0 kg size for taller rods and heavier glassware, and the 1.2 kg size for compact set-ups on student benches. Keep the load above the legs rather than reaching far outside them, and tighten the rod fully before use. Anyone looking for a tripod stand for the lab in India should note that this is a rod base, not a burner tripod for gauze. Cast iron is strong under load but can crack if dropped, so lift it with both hands.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this cast iron tripod and makes it at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Since the tripod and the rods it needs are both offered by the same manufacturer, a lab can order a complete stand in one enquiry and receive the quotation from the source.
For repeat orders or advice on matching fittings, ask us directly. The ScienceLab profile has more about the company.
