There are two types of wire gauze used in chemistry: a normally woven wire gauze, and one with a white circle imprinted on it. The latter has a ceramic composite intended to aid in the dispersal in heat. The normal set-up is a ring stand which a support ring attached to it. The wire gauze is centered on the ring stand as to allow the open flame to be in contact with it to a certain extent, depending on the desired heat. In the context of laboratory experimentation, the combination of the wire gauze plus the added ceramic composite greatly aids in the even dispersal of heat. This means that an object placed over this type of wire gauze will receive a more uniform heat from a Bunsen burner than the naked flame of it. This property is specially important in various chemical processes where precise, even heat dispersal is sought after, as a consistent heat is crucial for the successful maintenance of the chemical process intended. Because of this desired heat dispersal ability, wire gauze can also be used as a cooling surface for beakers, Erlenmeyers flasks or other vessels without damaging the supporting surface (workbench, tabletop, etc.).

No two animal can occupy the same niche. This was enunciated by?
Gause.
What is Gause's law of competitive exclusion?
Competitive exclusion principle.
How did Gause's experiment with paramecium demonstrate competitive exclusion?
Gause's laboratory experiment demonstrated the process of competitive exclusion because he was able to isolate the two species and their common limiting resource (food) in the laboratory.
What is a SuitCase wire feed or work wire used for?
One is a Miller Suitcase wire feed storage device that is used for feeding wire to an argon welding machine. Work wire is jewellery and pendants that are made from working wire into different shapes.
What is gause's competitive exculsion principle?
Gause's Law states that when all other ecological factors are constant, two species competing for the same resources will not coexist. In the long term one will gain advantage and dominate the other, leading to extinction or a behavioral shift in the dominate species' competitor.
