SAMONTE BSCE 1E Wire Gauze For Bunsen Burner

Wire gauze is a thin metal mesh that is placed between a Bunsen burner and glassware to diffuse heat and protect the glassware. It supports beakers and flasks during heating by distributing the burner's flame evenly across its surface. There are two main types - one with a ceramic center for added heat resistance, and plain wire mesh. Wire gauze is typically made of durable metals like iron, steel, copper or nichrome alloy to withstand high temperatures and prevent tearing.
