Wire Gauze
Product Code : SCL-CL-11918
Wire Gauze (SKU SCL-CL-11918) is a 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 suits every heating practical in school and college chemistry labs, from boiling water to warming analysis solutions. Science Lab Supplies, operating out of Ambala, India, offers it on quotation to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
This table holds every detail of the non-asbestos gauze. In short, it is a plain-pattern mesh of good-quality metal chosen to resist corrosion and high temperatures, giving a stable surface on the tripod that keeps glassware out of the direct flame and spreads the heat evenly across the vessel base.

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 in school and college labs.
- Class 6–8 science: heating water in borosilicate Beakers to study boiling and evaporation.
- Class 9–10 science: preparing solutions and heating mixtures in a Conical Flask (Erlenmeyer) with Stopper.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: warming solutions for qualitative analysis or for titration from a 50 ml Burette.
- B.Sc. and diploma practicals: general flame heating of borosilicate laboratory glassware.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Wire Gauze is supplied as a single non-asbestos metal gauze as described above. A tripod stand, burner and spare gauzes can be added to the same quotation, so a complete set of heating stations for a class can be priced in one document.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Gauzes wear with repeated heating, so spares can be quoted 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 on the same document.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and is able to ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. Write to us about gauzes and spares through the contact page, or keep a running list in the enquiry cart; anyone buying against a published tender can check the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this wire gauze contain asbestos?
No. It is a non-asbestos gauze, made of a plain-pattern metal mesh that resists corrosion and high temperatures, so it can be used repeatedly over a laboratory burner flame.
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 stable support on the tripod.
Who supplies the Wire Gauze?
Science Lab Supplies dispatches it from its Ambala base in India and can quote one gauze or class sets for schools, colleges and contractors, with tripods and burners on the same order.
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 for the full number of gauzes.
