Heat-Resistant Support for Beakers, Flasks, and Glassware in Laboratory Heating Applications
The Wire Gauze with Ceramic Center is a fundamental laboratory support accessory designed to provide even heat distribution and flame protection when using Bunsen burners, alcohol lamps, or other heat sources. The ceramic center diffuses heat uniformly and prevents direct flame contact with glassware, reducing the risk of thermal shock and breakage.
It is commonly placed on a ring stand or tripod between the flame and glass container, making it essential for boiling, heating, and distillation procedures in educational, industrial, and research laboratories.
Key Features & Benefits
- Durable Wire Mesh Construction – Made of galvanized or stainless steel for long-term use
- Ceramic-Coated Center – Disperses heat evenly and resists thermal damage
- Protects Glassware – Minimizes flame concentration and prevents glass cracking
- Universal Compatibility – Fits standard tripod stands and iron rings
- Laboratory-Safe Design – Withstands repeated high-temperature exposure
Applications
- Supporting beakers, flasks, crucibles, and other lab glassware during heating
- Used in chemical boiling and evaporation procedures
- Heat diffusion for distillation or titration setups
- Common in chemistry labs, schools, universities, and quality control labs
