Ceramic Mesh
Ceramic Mesh (Product Code: SCL326/063) is a square metal wire gauze with a ceramic circle in the centre, placed on a tripod stand to spread a burner or lamp flame evenly under beakers and flasks in school and college laboratories. It measures 125 x 125 mm, and its wire edges are rolled smooth so hands and gloves do not catch on loose ends. The mesh is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Wire Gauze Used For?
Glassware placed straight over a flame heats unevenly, and the hot spot directly above the flame is where cracks begin. Ceramic Mesh sits between the two: the metal wire conducts heat outwards across the square, while the ceramic centre takes the direct flame and passes the heat on gently to the base of the beaker or flask above. It also gives round-bottomed and flat-bottomed vessels a level surface to stand on. For this reason a wire gauze is standard lab equipment in India wherever tripods and burners are used.
Centre the mesh on the tripod so the ceramic circle lies directly over the flame. Never heat an empty vessel on it, keep it flat rather than bending it to fit, and let it cool on a heat-resistant mat. Replace the mesh once the ceramic centre is cracked or flaking, as it then no longer spreads heat properly.
OEM Manufacturer
ScienceLab, the trade name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM for Ceramic Mesh and makes it at the company's own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana. The gauze goes factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers, which keeps quotations and restocking with the manufacturer rather than a middleman. Since gauzes are replaced regularly as their centres wear, laboratories can reorder straight from the maker; just ask us. More on the ScienceLab profile page.

- Alcohol Lamp — a heat source to place beneath the tripod and gauze
- Glass Beaker — a common vessel heated on the gauze
- Conical Pots with Different Students — borosilicate conical flasks, 50 to 500 ml, for heating solutions

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Ceramic Mesh?
The Ceramic Mesh (SCL326/063) is a square gauze measuring 125 x 125 mm. That size rests across a standard laboratory tripod and gives a broad, level base for beakers and conical flasks.
What is the Ceramic Mesh made of?
The Ceramic Mesh is made of metal wire net with a ceramic circle provided in the centre. The wire edges are rolled smooth, which makes the gauze safer to pick up and stops the ends snagging on gloves or cloths.
Why does the Ceramic Mesh have a ceramic centre?
The ceramic centre of the Ceramic Mesh sits directly over the flame and spreads its heat more gently to the vessel above. This reduces hot spots on the glass base, lowering the risk of cracking and of liquids bumping.
When should the Ceramic Mesh be replaced?
Replace the Ceramic Mesh once the ceramic centre is cracked, thin or flaking, or when the wire is badly bent. A worn gauze no longer spreads heat evenly, and glassware heated on it is more likely to break.
Who manufactures the Ceramic Mesh?
The Ceramic Mesh is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, dealers and importers receive quotations directly from the manufacturer.
How many Ceramic Mesh gauzes does a school lab need?
A common approach is to order one Ceramic Mesh per tripod stand plus a few spares, since gauzes wear with use. Send your number of heating stations and delivery location through the contact page, and we will quote the quantity you need.
