Introduction: Why Crucibles Remain Vital in the Lab

When experiments demand extreme heat, crucibles are indispensable. Used to contain substances during heating, melting, and calcination, crucibles withstand temperatures that would shatter ordinary glassware. LabChoice crucibles are made from high-grade porcelain or silica, ensuring durability under repeated direct flame or furnace use.

Clay pipe triangles complement crucibles by providing a stable, heat-resistant support structure. Resting on a tripod stand, they keep crucibles securely positioned over a Bunsen burner or furnace, ensuring even heating and safety.

Crucible Applications in Science and Industry

Crucibles are fundamental in both educational and professional labs:

• Chemistry Labs: Heating solids, conducting decomposition experiments, and preparing samples for gravimetric analysis.
• Metallurgy: Melting metals or alloys for research and testing.
• Material Science: Investigating ceramic and composite behaviour under heat.
• Education: Demonstrating thermal decomposition and heat transfer in schools and universities.

Their ability to tolerate extreme heat makes them essential for both analytical and industrial workflows.

Clay Pipe Triangles: Reliable Supports for Crucibles

Clay pipe triangles are often overlooked, but they play a crucial role in safe high-temperature work. Constructed from ceramic-coated wires, they provide both stability and insulation, preventing crucibles from slipping or being exposed to uneven flame.

LabChoice triangles are built for repeated use, offering resistance to cracking and deterioration even in rigorous teaching environments. When paired with LabChoice crucibles, they form a reliable heating system suitable for any laboratory.
