A Pipeclay Triangle is a piece of laboratory apparatus.
It is used in the laboratory much in the same way as a wire gauze, that is to support another piece of apparatus on a tripod, which is undergoing heating by a bunsen burner or other heat source.
Unlike the wire gauze, which primarily supports glassware such as a beaker, laboratory flasks, or an evaporating basin, the pipeclay triangle normally supports a crucible.
The pipeclay triangle is made of wire enclosed in pipeclay tubes.
A pipeclay triangle looks like an equilateral triangle made out three plastic tubes (one for each side) with wire poking out of each point.
