Product Code : SCL-CL-12024
Laboratory Wire Gauze Mesh (SKU SCL-CL-12024) is a square wire gauze with a ceramic centre that is laid on a tripod or ring to spread a burner flame evenly under beakers, flasks and dishes. It protects glassware from the concentrated heat of an open flame. Science Lab Supplies dispatches packs of these gauzes from Ambala, India, against quotations for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the Wire Gauze
A wire gauze gives a flat, stable surface on a tripod and spreads the flame so glass is not heated at one point. It is used whenever a beaker, flask or dish is heated over a burner, from middle-school science to CBSE Class 9–12 chemistry and B.Sc. practicals.
- Boiling water or solutions in a Chemical Glasses (Beaker) 50ml or a larger beaker on a tripod.
- Class 9 science: evaporating a solution in a dish to obtain crystals.
- Heating a Conical Pot (Erlenmeyer) 250ml during preparations.
- Supporting small containers evenly over a spirit lamp.
The gauze stays hot after the flame is turned off; let it cool, or lift the beaker off with a Beaker Tong SS, before handling.
Standard Scope of Supply
One pack holds ten 150 mm wire gauzes with ceramic centres and a high-temperature safety and storage leaflet. Tripods and burners are separate items and can be listed on the same enquiry when a heating bench is being equipped.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can cover a single pack of ten or several packs to replace worn gauzes across all benches. Every quotation states packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and tripods or burners can be added to the same quote.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Gauze prices are available on request via the contact page or the enquiry cart, and the lab tender page explains how tender quantities are quoted.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the gauze contain asbestos?
No. The centre disc is made from asbestos-free, heat-resistant ceramic, so it avoids the inhalation risk of older asbestos gauzes in school and college laboratories.
What size is the gauze and will it fit my tripod?
It is 150 x 150 mm with a 100 mm ceramic centre, a size that sits across standard laboratory tripods and support rings, including the 120 mm ring of the Cast Iron Tripod Stand.
Who supplies the Laboratory Wire Gauze Mesh?
Quotations for these gauzes are issued by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India. Schools, colleges and stockists order directly, and tripods, burners or beakers from the same range can be priced alongside the gauze packs.
Can the gauze be washed?
No. Keep the gauze dry: washing can soften the ceramic compound and cause the centre disc to crumble prematurely. Let it cool fully and store it in a dry place between lessons.
