Wire gauze gives beakers and flasks a flat, stable surface over a burner flame and spreads the heat so liquids warm evenly instead of boiling over hot spots. Thermal Scientific carries laboratory wire gauze squares, including ceramic center wire gauze and iron wire gauze, in common sizes to fit standard beakers and flasks. Setting up a heating station for a teaching lab, a QC bench, or a field lab? Our team can help you match the gauze, support, and heat source.
Wire gauze works with a ring support, so browse our clamps, supports, and stands and burners to complete the setup. For flameless heating, see our hot plates and stirrers, and find the right glassware in our beakers.
Wire gauze sits on a ring stand between a burner flame and your glassware. It supports beakers and flasks and spreads the heat so liquids warm evenly.
Ceramic center wire gauze has a ceramic disc in the middle that helps diffuse the flame across the base of the glassware, while iron wire gauze is a plain mesh square. We carry both styles.
Rest the gauze on a ring support above the burner, use heat-resistant glassware, and handle hot gauze and glassware with lab tongs. Our team can help you assemble the right setup.
