Description
Wire triangle of galvanised iron with 40 mm clay tube is a traditional laboratory support used to hold crucibles, evaporating dishes or small vessels above a heat source. The triangular frame is fabricated from galvanised iron and fitted with a clay tube measuring 40 mm, providing a stable, heat-resistant resting surface for open-flame or hot-plate work. This accessory is routinely placed on a tripod stand during ashing, ignition or gentle heating procedures in analytical and preparative chemistry. Supplied as 1 pc from manufacturer IDL GmbH, the wire triangle forms part of the classic range of wire gauzes and meshes employed on laboratory benches. The galvanised iron construction offers basic corrosion protection for repeated use, while the clay tube distributes heat and protects the vessel base from direct flame impingement. With a defined clay-tube length of 40 mm, the unit matches common laboratory heating setups that require reliable crucible support. It is a straightforward, durable component for everyday thermal operations where a simple wire triangle is specified.

Questions about Iron triangles for melting crucibles, steel wire galvanized, 40 mm, clay tubes
What is this article?
Iron triangles for melting crucibles, steel wire galvanized, 40 mm, clay tubes is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IDL GmbH for laboratory use. It sits in Test tubes, inside Tubes & vials, in Labware.
A test tube is the open cylindrical vessel for a small liquid, in borosilicate glass or in plastic. Rimmed and rimless mouths differ. The size is diameter by length. It is not graduated for a result, and a glass tube that will be centrifuged has a force limit.
A tube holds a small sample upright. A test tube is the open glass or plastic cylinder. A centrifuge tube is conical so a pellet forms at the tip, and it is rated for a centrifugal force the rotor will actually reach. A vial is a small closed bottle, often for a sample that will sit in an instrument. NMR tubes are a special case: the glass has to be uniform or the spectrum is the tube, not the sample. Laboratory ware is listed under ISO laboratory glassware.
