Ceramic Mesh
Product Code : SCL-CL-11558
Ceramic Mesh (SKU SCL-CL-11558), often 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. School and college chemistry laboratories use it daily. Science Lab Supplies supplies this mesh from Ambala, India for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The mesh is a 125 x 125 mm square of metal wire gauze with a ceramic circle in the centre. Its wire edges are rolled smooth, which makes the gauze safer to lift and less likely to snag gloves or cloths during cleaning and storage.

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, so it appears in almost every school chemistry lab equipment list in India.
- Class 6–10 science: boiling and evaporating water, and separating salt from a solution.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: heating solutions 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. The tripod stand and burner it is used with are separate items; any optional accessories are listed 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 our range can be added to the same quotation.

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 instead of striking the glass directly.
What size is this mesh?
It is a 125 x 125 mm square with a ceramic circle in the centre and smooth rolled wire edges, a size that suits a standard laboratory tripod.
Who supplies the Ceramic Mesh?
It is supplied from Ambala, India by Science Lab Supplies, which quotes and dispatches it for individual schools as well as for distributors and tender contractors.
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 all of them will appear on one quotation.
Related Heating Equipment
A ceramic mesh works as part of a simple heating set-up: a stand to hold it, a flame underneath and sometimes a plain gauze as an alternative. These items complete that arrangement and can be ordered with the mesh on one quotation.
- Tripod Stand — holds the mesh above the burner.
- Laboratory Spirit Burner — a flame source for schools without gas.
- Bunsen Burner (Pack of Two) — gas burners for heating under the mesh.
- Laboratory Wire Gauze Mesh — another gauze option for the same job.
