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. Known in most laboratories as a wire gauze, it sits on a tripod or retort ring in every school and college chemistry heating set-up. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The item is a flat metal mesh in a silver finish, made to support pots and pans during heating. Its surface resists stains, rust and corrosion, so it keeps working after repeated heating, spills and cleaning. The mesh spreads heat more evenly across the base of the vessel above it.

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.
- Class 10–12 chemistry: heating beakers and conical flasks during preparations and titration warm-ups.
- B.Sc. practicals: evaporation, crystallisation 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.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Masha for pot is supplied as a single metal mesh as described above. Tripods, stands, burners and glassware are not included; the mesh size offered and any optional accessories are stated on the quotation, so please tell us the tripod or ring you use.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Because gauzes are replaced regularly, many schools order a year’s stock at once, but a single piece can be quoted too. Each quotation sets out packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and burners, stands and beakers can be priced together to fit out a school chemistry lab.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and is able to ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines. Share your list via the contact page or the enquiry cart; the lab tender page explains supply for larger contracts.
