14  Iron Clamp  Is used to secure an

extension-type utility
clamp to a support
stand or ring stand.
Also used in some
instances to clamp a
couple of support rods
together, or to clamp
an iron ring or other
attachment to a metal
bar.
15  Iron Ring  Used to support flasks

or funnels upright in a
stand. This is to
enable the stability of
the flask or funnel
while testing is being
performed.
16  Iron Stand  With wide metal base.  Used to provide

support for other
equipment and a
means of raising
equipment above the
work surface.

30  Wire Gauze  Can be used to

support a container
such as a beaker or
flask during heating.
When the Bunsen
burner flame is
beneath it, with a
tripod, the wire gauze
helps to spread the
flame and heat out

container. It is
completely used in
combination with an
iron ring and ring
