Wire gauze or wire mesh is a gauze woven of metal wire, or very fine, gauze-like wire netting. Wire gauze is placed on the support ring that is attached to the retort stand between a burner and glassware, or is placed on a tripod to support beakers, flasks, or other glassware to protect it during heating. [1] [2] Glassware should not be heated ...
A Bunsen burner placed atop a heatproof mat A heatproof mat An asbestos heatproof mat over a Teclu burner. A heatproof mat, also known as wire gauze or a gauze mat, is a piece of apparatus commonly used in tabletop lab experiments that involve moderate temperatures (for example, when a Bunsen burner is being used) to prevent damage to a work surface.

In film and theatre, gauze is often fashioned into a scrim. Gauze used in bookbinding is called mull, and is used in case binding to adhere the text block to the book cover. [19] The term wire gauze is used for woven metal sheets, for example placed on top of a Bunsen burner, or used in a safety lamp or a screen spark arrestor.
A hot plate or hotplate is a heated flat surface on a stove or electric cooker on which food may be cooked. [3] It comprises a heated top which is flat and usually circular, and may be made of metal, ceramic, or heat-resistant glass, with resistive wire forming a heating element fitted underneath and a thermostat to control the temperature.
Davy used a fine wire gauze with a mesh of 784 holes per square inch (28 mesh). The required fineness of the mesh was scrutinised by the Miners' Lamp Committee in 1924, 109 years after Davy's work, and a recommendation to use a coarser mesh of 400 holes/sq in (20 mesh) of 27SWG wire was made. Lamps tested were as safe, and illumination ...
Chain-link fencing showing the diamond patterning A chain-link fence bordering a residential property. A chain-link fence (also referred to as wire netting, wire-mesh fence, chain-wire fence, cyclone fence, hurricane fence, or diamond-mesh fence) is a type of woven fence usually made from galvanized or linear low-density polyethylene-coated steel wire.
Structured packing is formed from corrugated sheets of perforated embossed metal, plastic, or wire gauze. The result is a very open honeycomb structure with inclined corrugations or flow channels, giving a relatively high surface area but with very low resistance to gas flow. The surface enhancements have been chosen to maximize liquid spreading.
It is safer in modern reproductions of this experiment to use a borosilicate glass tube or, better still, one made of metal. Instead of heating the gauze with a flame, Rijke also tried electrical heating. Making the gauze with electrical resistance wire causes it to glow red when a sufficiently large current is passed. With the heat being ...
