Burner, High-Temperature Natural Gas (Product Code: SLE/B/03) is a Meker-type laboratory burner used to produce a very hot, broad flame for jobs such as heating platinum wire, igniting crucibles and fusions in chemistry labs. Its honeycombed monel grid cap splits the gas into many uniform blue cones, and it stands 8 1/2 in tall on a one-piece chrome-plated venturi tube. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A Meker burner is chosen when a Bunsen flame is not hot or wide enough. Typical jobs are igniting precipitates in crucibles during gravimetric analysis, heating crucibles to constant mass, small fusions, and cleaning or heating platinum wire between samples in flame tests. Because the monel grid creates a bed of small blue cones, heat is spread across the whole top of the burner and a crucible or dish warms more evenly.
Connect the burner to a natural gas outlet with good tubing, light it at the grid and adjust the gas until the small cones are uniform and blue. Rest the crucible on a pipe-clay triangle just above the cones and handle hot ware only with tongs. Colleges teaching quantitative analysis and schools running a flame test kit find it a practical addition to their chemistry lab equipment.
This Meker-type burner is an OEM product of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab. The company makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sells it straight from the factory to colleges, analytical teaching labs, dealers and importers instead of through a trading middleman.

How is the High-Temperature Natural Gas Burner different from a Bunsen burner?
The Burner, High-Temperature Natural Gas is a Meker type: its honeycombed monel grid cap forms many uniform hot blue cones, giving a hotter, broader heating area than the single cone of a Bunsen burner. That makes it better suited to crucible and platinum-wire work.
Can this high-temperature burner be used with LP gas?
The Burner, High-Temperature Natural Gas (SLE/B/03) is listed for natural gas only. If your laboratory runs on LP gas, contact us through the contact page before ordering so we can discuss a suitable option.
How tall is the SLE/B/03 burner and what is its tube made of?
The Burner, High-Temperature Natural Gas stands 8 1/2 in tall overall. Its venturi tube is a single chrome-plated piece, and the cap carries a honeycombed monel grid that spreads the flame into many small cones.
How should the monel grid be maintained?
Let the Burner, High-Temperature Natural Gas cool fully, then gently brush soot or spilled material off the monel grid so every opening stays clear. Do not push sharp tools through the honeycomb, as damaged cells give an uneven flame.
Is a flame temperature figure published for this burner?
No specific flame temperature is published for the Burner, High-Temperature Natural Gas; the product details describe it as very hot, as for heating platinum wire. If your method needs a stated figure, ask us through the contact page before ordering.
Who manufactures the High-Temperature Natural Gas Burner?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Burner, High-Temperature Natural Gas. It is produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct to institutions in India and international markets.
