Gauze Wire, Ceramic Centre Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Gauze Wire, Ceramic Centre (Product Code: SLE/CH/206) is a square wire gauze with a ceramic-coated centre that spreads burner heat over a wider area before it reaches the glass. It is offered in 125mm or 150mm sizes and is 100% asbestos free, which makes it a safer wire gauze for lab use in India’s schools and colleges than older asbestos-centred types. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

The ceramic centre is placed directly above the burner flame on a tripod, and the flask, beaker or evaporating basin sits on top of it. Because the ceramic diffuses the heat, liquids warm more gently and evenly, which is useful when evaporating a salt solution to the point of crystallisation or when heating borosilicate laboratory glassware that should not be exposed to a concentrated hot spot. It is also a good choice for younger classes, since the flame is less likely to lick around the base of the vessel.

Match the gauze size to the top of your tripod: the 125mm square suits smaller tripods and micro burners, while the 150mm square gives a wider platform for larger beakers. Let the gauze cool fully before storing it, never plunge a hot gauze into water, and avoid knocking the ceramic centre against hard surfaces, as a chipped or cracked centre spreads heat less evenly and should be replaced.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which sizes can I order?
The gauze is available in 125mm or 150mm square sizes. State the size you need on your enquiry.

Does the ceramic centre contain asbestos?
No. These gauze wires are 100% asbestos free.

When should I choose ceramic centre gauze over plain gauze?
Choose it when you want gentler, more evenly spread heating, for example during evaporation or when heating thin-walled glassware. Plain gauze heats faster and lets students see the flame.

How many pieces come in one pack?
The pack quantity is not listed for this item. Please confirm it with us through our contact page when you request a quotation.

How do I care for the ceramic centre?
Cool it slowly in air, store it flat and avoid dropping it. Replace the gauze if the centre cracks, flakes or the wire becomes distorted.

Do you supply larger quantities for schools and distributors?
Yes. We supply institutions and resellers across India and international markets; include both sizes in one enquiry if you need a mix.
