Clay Triangle - Crucible Support - 2-1/2"

Clay triangles are used to support crucibles when heating them.

The clay portion is actually a ceramic material that can withstand extreme temperatures, such as those produced by a Bunsen Burner.

The triangle is set on top of an iron ring, and the crucible sits down in the center of the triangle.

Care must be taken to ensure that the crucible fits snug into the triangle, and does not fall down through.
