Wire Gauze
Product Code : SCL-CL-11918
Wire Gauze (SKU SCL-CL-11918) is a flat, non-asbestos metal mesh that sits on a tripod to support beakers and flasks during heating and spread the burner flame evenly beneath them. It is one of the first items issued for any heating practical in school and college chemistry labs. Buyers such as schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors receive it from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India.
Specifications
The gauze is a plain-pattern metal mesh chosen to resist corrosion and high temperatures. It is non-asbestos, so there is no asbestos centre, and it provides a flat, stable surface on the tripod that stops glassware from sitting directly in the flame and cracking at a single hot point.

Applications and Experiments for the Wire Gauze
Placed between a burner and a glass vessel, the gauze spreads the heat of the flame across the base of the beaker or flask. This gives more even heating, reduces the risk of thermal cracking and provides a steady platform for boiling, evaporation and solution-preparation practicals.
- Class 6–8 science: heating water in a beaker to study boiling and evaporation.
- Class 9–10 science: preparing solutions and heating mixtures in flasks.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: warming titration and qualitative-analysis solutions.
- B.Sc. and diploma practicals: general flame heating of borosilicate laboratory glassware.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Wire Gauze is supplied as a single sheet as described above. A tripod stand and burner are separate items and can be added to the same quotation; any optional accessories are listed there.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Gauzes wear with repeated heating, so labs often buy spares along with a class set. Ask for any number; the quotation sets out packing, delivery time and price, and tripods, burners or other chemistry lab equipment in India can be included.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and is able to ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. You can raise an enquiry on the contact page or add items to the enquiry cart; the lab tender page covers institutional tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this wire gauze contain asbestos?
No. It is a non-asbestos metal gauze, made of a corrosion- and heat-resistant metal mesh with a plain pattern.
Why place a wire gauze under glassware?
It spreads the flame over the base of the beaker or flask so that the glass heats evenly and is less likely to crack, and it gives a flat, stable support on the tripod.
Who supplies the Wire Gauze?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges and contractors, singly or in class sets with tripods and burners.
Can the gauze be ordered in bulk for a tender?
Yes. Send the quantity, delivery location and tender specification, and you will receive an item-wise quotation with packing, delivery time and price.
