The Wire Gauze is a laboratory support accessory used to provide uniform heat distribution while heating glassware over a flame. It is commonly placed on a tripod stand or iron ring to support beakers, flasks, and other vessels during heating with a Bunsen burner or spirit lamp.The gauze is made from strong steel wire mesh with a ceramic or asbestos center that helps spread heat evenly and protects glassware from direct flame contact. This design prevents sudden temperature changes and reduces the risk of glass breakage during experiments
