Ceramic Mesh
Product Code : SCL-CL-11558
Ceramic Mesh (SKU SCL-CL-11558), also called a wire gauze with ceramic centre, is a square metal mesh placed on a tripod stand so that a beaker, flask or dish can be heated over a burner flame. The ceramic circle spreads the heat and keeps the flame off the glass in school and college chemistry practicals. Orders for the mesh, whether from a single school or a distributor, are handled by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India.
Specifications
The table sets out every detail of the 125 mm ceramic-centre gauze. In short, it is a square of metal wire mesh measuring 125 x 125 mm with a ceramic circle fixed in the centre, and its wire edges are rolled smooth so the gauze is easier to lift and less likely to snag cloths.

Applications and Experiments for the Ceramic Mesh
Any practical that heats glassware over an open flame needs a gauze between the burner and the vessel. The ceramic mesh sits on a tripod, spreads the heat evenly and reduces the risk of glass cracking, which makes it basic school chemistry lab equipment in India for heating work.
- Class 6–10 science: boiling and evaporating water, and separating salt from a solution in a Porcelain Dish.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: heating solutions in borosilicate Beakers for crystallisation and salt preparation.
- B.Sc. practicals: warming reaction mixtures in beakers or conical flasks over a burner.
Let the mesh cool on a heat-resistant surface before handling, and replace it once the ceramic centre is cracked or crumbling.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Ceramic Mesh is supplied as a single square gauze, 125 x 125 mm, with its ceramic centre fixed in place and smooth rolled edges. The tripod stand and burner it is used with are separate items, and any optional accessories you ask for are shown on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Order a few meshes for a single bench or one per student station for a whole laboratory. Your quotation gives the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and tripods, burners and other chemistry lab instruments from the range can be added to the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda. A station-by-station list can be built in the enquiry cart; the contact page suits a quick question, and the lab tender page explains formal submissions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ceramic mesh used for?
It is placed on a tripod between a burner and a beaker, flask or dish so the flame heats the vessel evenly through the ceramic centre instead of striking the glass directly.
What size is this mesh?
It is a 125 x 125 mm square of metal wire mesh with a ceramic circle in the centre and smooth rolled wire edges. Compare this with the ring of your tripod stand before ordering.
Who supplies the Ceramic Mesh?
Science Lab Supplies, working from Ambala, India, quotes and dispatches the mesh. A handful for one bench and a large lot for a distributor or tender contractor are priced in the same way, with packing shown on the quotation.
Can I order it together with tripods and burners?
Yes. List every item and quantity in the enquiry cart or on the contact page, and the mesh, tripods and burners will all appear on one quotation with a single delivery.
