Applications and Experiments for the Beck Bunsen Burner
A Bunsen burner supplies the controlled heat needed for most wet and dry chemistry tests. It can be used to heat solutions, carry out flame tests, bend glass tubing and ignite substances, and it shows how air supply changes a luminous flame into a non-luminous one.
- Class 8 science: studying the zones of a flame and the difference between luminous and non-luminous flames, and lighting Wood Splints for the glowing-splint oxygen test.
- Class 10–12 chemistry: heating in salt analysis, preparation of gases and flame tests, viewing potassium through Cobalt Blue Glass (Flame Testing).
- B.Sc. practicals: heating crucibles such as the lidded 30 ml Croojiola (Pot) Porcelain, evaporating solutions and simple glass working.
- Biology and microbiology: flaming loops and tube mouths during basic aseptic technique.
The burner uses flammable gas and an open flame, so it must be used under teacher supervision: check tubing for leaks, light the striker before opening the gas, tie back hair and never leave a lit burner unattended.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Beck Bunsen is supplied as a single burner as described above. Gas, the gas cylinder or line, connecting tubing and the striker are separate; any accessories you want with it can be listed as extra lines on the quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Beck Bunsen?
It is a Bunsen burner: a gas burner with a gas-flow knob and a rotating air collar, 150 mm long, used for laboratory heating. “Bec Bunsen” is the French name for the Bunsen burner.
How do I get a blue, hot flame?
Open the rotating collar to let more air in. With the collar closed the flame is yellow and sooty; with it open the flame turns blue and hotter.
Who supplies the Beck Bunsen?
The Beck Bunsen is a supplied product. Science Lab Supplies prices it from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, dealers and tender contractors, and it can sit on the same quotation as the rest of a chemistry list.
Is gas included?
No. The burner is connected to the laboratory’s own gas supply with suitable rubber tubing, which can be quoted separately. A striker for lighting and a stand or tripod for the vessel can be added to the same quotation.
