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. Schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors can obtain it from Science Lab Supplies, which supplies it from Ambala, India.
Specifications
The gauze measures 150 x 150 mm (6 x 6 inches) and is woven from galvanised iron wire with folded, turned edges so no loose ends stick out. A 100 mm asbestos-free ceramic disc in the centre diffuses the flame, and the gauze is rated for temperatures up to 800 °C.

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 beaker on a tripod.
- Class 9 science: evaporating a solution to obtain crystals.
- Heating a conical flask during preparations and titration work.
- Supporting small containers evenly over a spirit lamp.
The gauze stays hot after the flame is turned off; lift it with tongs or let it cool before handling.
Standard Scope of Supply
According to the product description, 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.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Since gauzes are replaced regularly, many labs order several packs at a time, but a single pack can be quoted too. Every quotation states packing, delivery time and price for the quantity, and tripods or burners can be added.
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). You can reach us from the contact page, send a list via the enquiry cart, or read the lab tender page before a tender.

- Cast Iron Tripod Stand — 120 mm ring to carry the gauze.
- Ceramic Mesh — another heating mesh in the range.
- Adjustable Bunsen Gas Burner with Control Valve (Set of 2) — the heat source.
- Chemical Glasses (Beaker) 50ml — a beaker to heat on the gauze.
