Non-luminous flame should be used for heating in the laboratory because the flame is steady and produce little or no soot.Non-luminous flame is very hot thus, it is recommendable to use for laboratory purposes.Luminous flame is unsteady while non-luminous flame is steady.Another reason of using non-luminous flame because the flame of non-luminous is blue, and not visible unlike the luminous flame which is yellow in colour and visible.
The yellow flame (or luminous flame) should not be used because 1. It is less hot that the blue flame (or non-luminous flame) 2. It produces soot, as compared to the blue flame which is the clean flame
luminous
Non- luminous flame should be used as it is steady and produces little or no soot.
Luminous since it is visible

over a blue flame
When heating a substance over a Bunsen burner the iron clamp for test tubes or the wire gauze is placed on top of the iron ring for beakers.
This is not a very well worded question. What do you mean by why should it be used? I Bunsen burner is used for heating things, usually in a lab setting.
The screw is to change between a luminous flame(orange) and non-luminous flame(blue). You should always screw the lock so that it covers the hole first.
because.
