Beck Bunsen

Product Code : SCL-CL-11548

Beck Bunsen (SKU SCL-CL-11548) is a 150 mm Bunsen burner that connects to a flammable gas supply and gives an adjustable flame for heating test tubes, beakers and crucibles. It is the everyday heat source of school chemistry practicals from Class 8 onward and of college teaching laboratories. Schools, colleges, training institutes, distributors and tender contractors obtain it from Science Lab Supplies, which supplies it from Ambala, India, as part of its school chemistry lab equipment.

Specifications

The burner is 150 mm long. A knob adjusts how much gas flows in, and a rotating collar at the base of the tube controls how much air is drawn in. Setting both together gives the right flame for heating, from a soft yellow flame to a hot blue one.

Applications and Experiments for the Beck Bunsen Burner

A Bunsen burner supplies the controlled heat needed for most wet and dry chemistry tests. Students use it to heat solutions, carry out flame tests, bend glass tubing and ignite substances, learning along the way 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.
• Class 10–12 chemistry: heating in salt analysis, flame tests and preparation of gases.
• B.Sc. practicals: heating crucibles, 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.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Quotations can cover a single burner for a demonstration desk or one for every student position. The quotation names the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and rubber gas tubing, wire gauze and a tripod or stand can be added in the same enquiry.

Because it holds an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Ethiopia. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Send your requirement from the contact page, save it in the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page for bulk supply.

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?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, quoting schools, colleges, dealers and tender contractors directly with the rest of their chemistry list.

Is gas included?
No. The burner is connected to the laboratory’s own gas supply with suitable tubing, which can be quoted separately.

Related Heating Equipment

A burner needs a gas connection, something to support the vessel and a gauze to spread the heat. The four Chemistry Lab items listed here complete the heating bench, including an alcohol lamp for rooms without gas, and can be quoted together with the burner.

• Rubber Tube (Laboratory) — connects the burner to the gas outlet.
• Masha for pot — metal mesh to spread the flame under vessels.
• Laboratory Stand — retort stand with rings to hold vessels over the flame.
• Alcohol Lamp — spirit lamp where no gas supply exists.
