Wicks For Glass Spirit Burner (Product Code: SLE/CH/238) are replacement wicks that can be used with the Methylated Spirit Burner, packed ten to a pack so that a laboratory can keep every burner on the bench lighting cleanly through the school year. A fresh wick draws fuel evenly and gives a steady, clean flame, while a charred or shortened one produces a weak, smoky flame that slows down practical work. The wicks are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its range as a chemistry consumables supplier in India and for institutions abroad.

Spirit burners are the heat source of choice in rooms without a gas supply, in primary and middle-school science, and wherever a small, gentle flame is enough — warming a test tube, heating a small beaker on a tripod or running a simple heat-transfer demonstration. Over time the exposed end of the wick chars and shortens, and it eventually stops drawing fuel properly. Replacing it takes a minute: remove the cap and the wick holder, thread a new wick through the holder so that a short, even length stands above it, let the lower end soak in methylated spirit before lighting, and trim any frayed strands.
Only refill or re-wick a burner when the flame is out and the glass has cooled, keep the cap on when the burner is not in use to stop the fuel evaporating, and never let a wick burn dry. Keeping a pack of spare wicks with the lab consumables means a burner can be returned to service in the same lesson instead of being set aside.
These wicks are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind ScienceLab in Ambala, Haryana. The company keeps spares and consumables alongside its laboratory apparatus, so burners, lamps and other bench equipment can stay in service between larger orders.

How many wicks are in a pack?
Each pack contains 10 wicks.
Which burner do these wicks fit?
They can be used with the Methylated Spirit Burner. Wick dimensions are not listed here, so for any other burner or lamp please send us the wick holder details before ordering.
When should a wick be replaced?
Replace it when the exposed end is heavily charred or hardened, when it no longer reaches the fuel, or when the flame becomes small, uneven or smoky.
Can a wick be trimmed instead of replaced?
Yes, trimming away a lightly charred tip often restores an even flame. Once the wick is too short to reach the fuel, fit a new one.
Is fuel included?
No, the pack contains wicks only. Methylated spirit is available separately.
Can you supply wicks for several laboratories at once?
Yes. Multiple packs for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets are quoted on request.
To order spare wicks, contact us with the number of packs, or add them to the enquiry cart with your other consumables.
