What is the use of a wire gauze in a laboratory?
when using glassware, put a wire gauze on top of the tripod. the
wire gauze spreads the heat so glassware does not crake :)

Why use wire gauze when heating a beaker?
The wire gauze allow a more uniform heating of the beaker.
Asked in Chemistry
Why do you have to use wire gauze in heating beaker?
The reason you use wire gauze when heating a beaker is so that
the heating is more uniform throughout the beaker.
Asked in Chemistry
How do you handle Wire Gauze?
When the wire gauze is at room temperature, you can handle it
with your hands. Once the wire gauze has been heated (say, by
supporting a crucible over a Bunsen burner on a ring stand), you
would need to use a set of tongs to handle the wire gauze (and the
crucible and the ring of the ring stand if it needed to be
dismantled immediately).

Why is it that an ice that is wrap in wire gauze does not melt when heated in a beaker of water?
Since the wire gauze is a good conductor of heat, all the heat
is sttracted to the wire gauze

What uses of wire gauze?
A wire gauze is placed under a Bunsen burner, on a tripod; wire
gauzes can be used sometimes for filtering.

How do you use wire gauze?
On a bunsen burner tripod.
It is for the beaker or other container.
Asked in Chemistry
Will using a wire gauze heat up a glass flask faster than without wire gauze?
Yes it will because the heat is spread to all parts of the gauze
and the flask is heated uniformly. This happens because wire gauze
is a conductor of heat.

Why does the wire gauze not burn under heat?
Actually wire gauze will burn when heated. I think you may
instead be asking "Why will a flame not propagate beyond a wire
mesh." But the answer to your question is: "A wire gauze WILL burn
under appropriate heat."

What is a wire gauze in laboratory?
The use of a wire gauze in an experiment is to place under the
container holding the liquid,that is being heated by the Bunsen
burner, so that the container doesn't have direct conact with the
flame.

How is a wire gauze square used?
Generally it is used with a ring stand and a ring. The wire
gauze is placed on the rind, a beaker or flask is placed on the
gauze, and heat is applied by a Bunsen burner.

Uses of wire gauze?
it prevents the heat of the apparatus directly.
the circle thing on the wire gauze ensures that the heat is
spread everywhere
Asked in Chemistry
What is a wire gauze used for?
Most likely the reason you use wire guaze js when you are
heating a beaker whitch is what most scientist or science teachers
may use.
The use of wire gauze can be found in appliances, plumbing products
and air filters, just to name a few. It is used to support a
container during heating. The wire gauze helps to spread the flame
out evenly. It is also used to filter liquids and solids. Some
metals used include aluminum, copper, iron and platinum.
Wire gauze has another interesting property: it serves as a
flame arrestor. If the gauze is fine enough, flames don't travel
through it. This is used as a safety feature in many objects. A
wire gauze on top of a gas burner ensures that the flame stays out
of the burner itself.
The only use i can think of is when you put it on a tripod over a
Bunsen burner to hold up a beaker in a science experiment.

Description of wire gauze?
It is sort of like a fabric, just made of wire.
Asked in Science, Physics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering
What is the function of a wire gauze?
When wire gauze is used in chemistry, it creates a precise, even
heat dispersal. The wire gauze is centered on a ring stand, which
allows an open flame to be in contact with it to a certain extent,
depending on the desired heat. When an object is placed over wire
gauze, it receives a more uniform heat, which is essential for the
successful maintenance of the chemical process.
Because wire gauze is able to achieve this, it can also be used
as a cooling surface for beakers, Erlenmeyers flasks or other
vessels without damaging the supporting surface.

Why do you use wire gauze when heating the beaker but a triangle when heating an evaporating dish?
the base of an evaporating dish is rounded and
will not be stable when placed on a gauze,
hence a triangle (tripod) to hold its base better .
Also, when you heat the beaker, you put the
wire gauze above the triangle(tripod) and the
triangle(tripod) above the Bunsen burner.

What is the use of wire gauze in laboratory?
In a laboratory, wire gauze is used to hold stuff on a ring
stand; for instance, if you want to boil some water in a beaker
using a Bunsen burner, you put a wire gauze on a ring stand, then
put the flame under it.
It can also be used as a heat proof mat, in case you need to
cool some substances in an apparatus, such as an evaporating dish
after intense heating.
