Masha for pot
Product Code : SCL-CL-11554
Masha for pot (SKU SCL-CL-11554) is a silver metal mesh placed under pots, beakers and flasks so that they can be heated over a burner without the flame touching the glass directly. Also called a wire gauze, it can sit on a tripod or retort ring in school and college chemistry heating set-ups. The mesh can be ordered for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors through Science Lab Supplies, an Ambala, India supplier.
Specifications
The specification table below lists each property of this metal mesh. In short, it is a silver-coloured metal mesh made to support pots and pans during heating, with a surface that resists stains, rust and corrosion, so it stays serviceable through repeated heating, spills and cleaning.

Applications and Experiments for the Masha for Pot
The mesh is used whenever a beaker, flask or evaporating dish is heated over a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp. It gives the vessel a flat, stable seat on a tripod or ring and spreads the flame, which reduces hot spots and the risk of glass cracking during boiling and evaporation.
- Class 6–9 science: boiling water, dissolving solids and evaporating solutions to recover salt in a 150 ml Porcelain Dish.
- Class 10–12 chemistry: heating beakers and conical flasks, such as a graduated Conical Pot (Erlenmeyer) 250ml, during preparations and titration warm-ups.
- B.Sc. practicals: evaporation, crystallisation in a 90 mm glass Crystallizer and water-bath heating over a burner.
- Biology labs: warming water baths for enzyme and starch tests.
The mesh becomes very hot during use; let it cool before touching and lift vessels with tongs or a holder.
