Wire gauze can be used to support a container (such as a beaker or flask) during heating. When the Bunsen burner flame is beneath it, with a tripod, the wire gauze helps to spread the flame (and heat) out evenly over the container.

It is frequently used in combination with an iron ring and ring stand with a Bunsen burner underneath it (see the Related Questions for more information about an iron ring, ring stand, and Bunsen burner & tripod).

A clay triangle serves a similar purpose, except that a clay triangle is used for a crucible instead.

What is a gauze for science?

A gauze in science refers to a wire mesh screen that is placed on top of a Bunsen burner to provide a flat surface for the beaker or flask to sit on. This helps distribute the heat evenly and prevents breakage or spillage. It also helps protect the glassware from direct contact with the flame, reducing the risk of overheating or cracking. Overall, using a gauze in your science experiments is a safe and practical way to ensure accurate and reliable results. Hope this helps clarify things for you!


When a bunsen burner is lit below a wire gauze the flame initially burns below the gauze after sometime the flame burns both below and above the gauze explain this observation?

At first, the air above the gauze is cold and heavy therefore, it cannot be ignite. After sometime, the hair above gets heated and becomes light hence can be ignited thus the flame burns above the gauze. Guys rate my answer please 😉💫
