Tripods
Tripods (Product Code: SLE/LR/13) are three-legged laboratory tripods used to hold a wire gauze, pipeclay triangle or vessel above a Bunsen burner for heating in school, college and research labs. Two constructions are offered, 18/10 stainless steel with welded feet and zinc-coated tempered cast iron with screwed feet, each in four sizes from D/Ø 100 to 160. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India, as everyday laboratory instruments for India's teaching labs.

What Are Laboratory Tripods Used For?
A tripod is the classic heating support: the burner goes underneath, a wire gauze or pipeclay triangle rests on the ring, and a beaker, evaporating dish or crucible sits on top. Students use it to boil water, evaporate solutions to crystals, heat crucibles to constant mass and run simple calorimetry. The A dimension (listed as length) and the D/Ø value let you match the tripod to the height of your burner flame and the size of the vessel.
Choose stainless steel with welded feet where hygiene, corrosion and easy cleaning matter, and zinc-coated tempered cast iron with screwed feet for robust everyday class use. Let a tripod cool before moving it, keep it on a heat-resistant mat, and never place a vessel directly over a bare flame without a gauze when the glass needs even heating.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The material: 18/10 stainless steel (welded feet) or tempered cast iron (screwed feet).
- The size by A and D/Ø from the lists above.
- The quantity, usually one per heating station.
- Whether gauzes, pipeclay triangles or burners should be quoted too.

Related Stand Bases, Rods and Rings
What goes on, under and beside a heating tripod:
- Gauze Wire — rests on the tripod ring to spread the flame under glassware.
- Pipeclay Triangle — holds a crucible on the tripod for strong heating.
- Bunsen Burner — the heat source placed between the legs.
- Crucible with lid — heated on the triangle for ignition and constant-mass work.
- Tripod Cast Iron Varnished — a threaded tripod stand base for a support rod, a different job.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are the ScienceLab Tripods made in?
The Tripods are made in two versions: 18/10 stainless steel with welded feet, and tempered cast iron with a zinc coating and screwed feet. Both hold a gauze or triangle over a burner; stainless is easier to keep clean.
What sizes do the Tripods come in?
The stainless Tripods are listed as 180 × 100, 210 × 120, 210 × 140 and 240 × 160 (A × D/Ø). The cast iron Tripods are 180 × 100, 210 × 120, 210 × 140 and 240 × 150.
What is the difference between welded and screwed feet?
On the stainless steel Tripods the feet are welded, giving permanent joints with no threads to loosen. On the cast iron Tripods the feet are screwed in, so a leg that works loose can simply be tightened again.
What else do I need to heat with a tripod?
To heat with these Tripods you need a burner underneath and a wire gauze for beakers or flasks, or a pipeclay triangle for crucibles. We can quote gauzes, triangles and burners together with the tripods.
Who manufactures the Tripods?
The Tripods are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Institutions and dealers buy directly from the manufacturer.
How are these Tripods different from the Tripod Cast Iron Varnished?
These Tripods are heating supports that carry a gauze or triangle over a burner. The Tripod Cast Iron Varnished is a stand base with a thread that takes a support rod for clamps, so it serves a different purpose.
