Ceramic Mesh Square (Product Code: SCI-659/030) is a square wire gauze with a ceramic circle in the centre, used to carry beakers, flasks and evaporating dishes over a burner or spirit lamp flame on a tripod, with the ceramic disc softening the heat that reaches the glass. It measures 125 x 125 mm, combines metal wire with ceramic and has smooth rolled edges — a routine purchase for benches that need wire gauze for lab work in India. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Almost every heating practical in a school syllabus passes through a gauze. Students warm water in a beaker to dissolve a solute faster, evaporate a salt solution in a porcelain dish until crystals appear, and bring a flask of water to the boil for boiling-point or latent-heat work. On the tripod stand used in labs across India, the square lies flat across the frame and gives each vessel a steady, supported base.
Adjust the flame so that its hottest part reaches just beneath the ceramic circle rather than the bare wire. After heating, lift the gauze by its rolled edge with tongs, because the ceramic stays hot long after the flame is turned off, and never drip cold water onto a hot square. Stack spare squares flat in a drawer instead of hanging them on hooks, so the ceramic disc is not knocked or chipped.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM that produces the Ceramic Mesh Square at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana. The square is supplied as a finished item, net and ceramic circle together, and schools, colleges, dealers and importers order it direct from the maker. The company is a registered MSME whose major activity is manufacturing (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and export consignments are shipped under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT).

What size is the Ceramic Mesh Square?
The Ceramic Mesh Square measures 125 x 125 mm. Its square format rests across a laboratory tripod to give beakers, flasks and evaporating dishes a flat, supported base over the flame; check the frame size of your tripod if you use an unusual model.
What does the ceramic circle do?
The ceramic circle in the centre of the Ceramic Mesh Square receives the direct flame and passes the heat on more gently to the base of the vessel above. This softens local hot spots that could otherwise crack glassware during heating.
Are the edges safe to handle?
Yes, the Ceramic Mesh Square has wire edges that are rolled smooth, so there are no loose, sharp wire ends to catch fingers or gloves. After heating, still lift it with tongs, since both the metal and the ceramic stay hot for some time.
Can it be used with a spirit lamp?
Yes. The Ceramic Mesh Square works with a spirit lamp as well as a gas burner, as long as it rests on a tripod of suitable height so the flame reaches the ceramic circle. A spirit lamp gives a smaller flame, so heating simply takes longer.
Who manufactures the Ceramic Mesh Square?
The Ceramic Mesh Square is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools and dealers buy it factory-direct, and repeat orders for extra squares are handled by the same manufacturer.
