About This Product
Wire gauze is a basic piece of heating equipment in the chemistry lab. It is laid on a tripod or a ring on a stand, and the beaker or flask rests on it above the flame. The mesh spreads the heat from the burner over a wider area, so the glass is heated evenly and is less likely to crack from a direct flame. Students are taught to let it cool before touching it.
