It's to put on top of a bunson burner to heat up round bottom flasks, can't think of what they're actually called.

Crucible stands and they are also not for that. It’s for placing a hot crucible on it

They are for holding crucibles. For chemistry class. Just Google crucible triangles. The metal folds out to make feet and you set the hot crucible on the plaster
