Used to hold round bottom flasks, to prevent them from rolling around and falling, and to keep them from touching the benchtop. This is used for starting a flame or often a bunsen burner. A ring is used to hold things. In organic chemistry this is oftem used to hold a separatory funnel. In general chemistry this is used to hold wire mesh to heat things on. This is used in all of the chemistries for measuring out small quantities of a substance relatively imprecisely. Also often used as a dropper.
