Best Answer

When heating beakers, a ring or square of wire gauze is placed on top of the tripod over the burner. The gauze may incorporate an asbestos pad or coating. The wire spreads the heat to prevent overheating of one part of the beaker.

A gauze mat is used below bunsen burners as it protects the tripod or surface which the bunsen burner might be on. It is most likely to be made of thick metal threads threaded into a mat or square.

Wire gauze functions?

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.
