A utility clamp is a laboratory apparatus resembling a pair of scissors. The screw in the middle works as the wide adjustment of 2-prong.[1] It is composed of 3 parts: 2-prong adjust, metal rod, and clamp down (the clamp is attached to the ring stand for adjusting the height). This apparatus is connected to a ring stand or retort stand. It is used to hold round laboratory glassware, such as beakers, and flasks, etc.[2] This type of clamp is made from stainless steel.[3]
