What Are The 4 Bunsen Burner Flames?
The four(4) flame types of Bunsen burner is depending on flow through the throat holes (holes on the side of the Bunsen burner -- not to be confused with the needle valve for gas flow adjustment). 1) air hole closed (Safety flame used for when not in use or lighting). 2) air hole slightly open. 3) air hole half open. 4) air hole almost fully open (this is the roaring blue flame).
What safety precautions should you take when using a Bunsen burner?
Bunsen burners are a fire hazard and should not be left unattended. However, accidents can occur even when the burner is off. Check the tubing connecting the gas line to the burner to be certain there are no cracks and it is secure. If the tubing is dislodged and the gas line valve is not off, gas will fill the room creating a potential explosion situation. This has happened. There are safer alternatives to the classic Bunsen burner. A Flame Boy or a Touch-o-matic burner eliminates the issue of a constant flame. A bacticinerator can be used to sterilize plating loops. There are also glass bead sterilizers that may be used.
What can be observed if the gas control valve on a Bunsen burner is slightly closed?
Less air enters the tube and the flame burns less fierce and appears more like the yellowish flame on a candle.
How does adjusting the needle valve on the Bunsen burner affects the flame?
The needle valve or flow valve controls the flow of gas into the Bunsen Burner.

What is the temperature of the Bunsen burner regulated by?
The temperature of a Bunsen burner is regulated by gas and airflow. The gas is controlled by a flow valve and the air is controlled by a screw mechanism on the collar. Different type of nozzles can control the flame's shape. The Bunsen burner was invented in 1855 by Robert Wilhelm Bunsen (1811-1899).
