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.


What is usually placed over a Bunsen burner?

A Bunsen burner is typically used with a heat-resistant apparatus, such as a beaker, flask, or evaporating dish, placed over it to heat substances. A wire gauze may also be used to provide a stable surface and distribute heat evenly. In laboratory settings, a tripod or a stand may support the container above the flame.
