Wire Guage Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Wire Guage (Product Code: SCL-605/050) is a square iron wire gauze with a ceramic circle fitted in the centre. Placed on top of a tripod, it gives beakers, flasks and evaporating dishes a flat, stable seat above a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp and spreads the flame's heat across the base of the vessel. The iron is of extra-strong quality and the wire edges are rolled smooth so the sheet can be handled without snagging. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its chemistry lab equipment for schools and colleges.

Specifications

Typical Use

A wire gauze on a tripod stand is the standard heating set-up in school practicals: warming water or solutions in a beaker, bringing a conical flask up to temperature before a titration, and evaporating a salt solution in a china dish to obtain crystals. The ceramic circle sits directly over the flame and distributes the heat, so the glass is not exposed to a concentrated hot spot that could crack it, and the square iron frame keeps round-bottomed and flat-bottomed vessels from tipping.

Centre the ceramic circle over the burner before lighting, never heat an empty glass vessel on it, and leave the gauze on the tripod until it has cooled — it stays hot well after the flame is turned off. Darkening of the iron with repeated heating is normal; replace the gauze if the ceramic coating begins to flake or the mesh sags.

The gauze is one part of a heating station; these items complete it:

• Tripod Cast Iron Varnished — the stand the gauze rests on above the flame
• Bunsen Burner — the gas heat source placed beneath the tripod
• Glass Beaker — the vessel most often heated on the gauze
• Conical Flask — for warming solutions before titration or during preparations
• Porcelain Dish (China Dish) — for evaporation and crystallisation over the gauze

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the "Wire Guage" the same thing as a wire gauze?
Yes. This listing is a wire gauze — a square iron mesh with a ceramic centre for supporting vessels over a flame. It is not an instrument for measuring wire thickness.

What are the dimensions of the gauze?
The size is not given in our current listing. Please ask us for the dimensions so you can check the fit on your tripods.

What does the ceramic circle do?
It spreads the heat of the flame evenly under the vessel, which reduces hot spots on glassware and gives gentler, more uniform heating.

Can it be used with a spirit lamp instead of a gas burner?
Yes. Any flame placed under the tripod will heat through the gauze; a spirit lamp simply heats more slowly than a Bunsen burner.

How do I stop the gauze from rusting?
Keep it dry, store it flat in a dry cupboard and avoid leaving it on a wet bench, since the frame is made of iron.

Is there a warranty?
Warranty terms are confirmed when we issue the quotation; please check them with us through the contact page.

Can you supply wire gauzes for every bench in a lab?
Yes. We supply schools, colleges and distributors across India and international markets; let us know the quantity and delivery address and we will prepare a quotation.
