Description
Wire gauze 160 x 160 mm, galvanised is a square laboratory support mesh fabricated from galvanised steel for stable flask and beaker positioning during heating. With a width of 160 mm and depth of 160 mm plus a net weight of 0,050 kg, the gauze delivers even heat distribution over Bunsen burners, tripods or hot plates while protecting glassware from direct flame contact. The galvanised coating provides corrosion resistance suited to routine wet-chemistry environments. Typical applications include evaporations, digestions, sample drying and general heating steps in teaching and research laboratories. The open-weave construction permits efficient air flow and flame passage, reducing hot spots and supporting reproducible thermal transfer. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer Usbeck, this durable steel mesh withstands repeated thermal cycling without significant deformation and fits standard ring stands and laboratory supports. It remains a practical everyday accessory for chemistry benches requiring reliable, long-lasting heating support.

Questions about Gauze 160 X 160 mm
What is this article?
Gauze 160 X 160 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Usbeck for laboratory use. It sits in Wipes, tissues & paper towels, inside Cleaning & disinfection, in Lab safety equipment.
A wipe or a tissue is specified by what it sheds and what it absorbs. A low-lint wipe is for an optical or a clean surface. A paper towel is for a general bench. A wipe soaked in a disinfectant is a different product from a dry wipe. Fibre and size are the choices.
Cleaning removes soil. Disinfection kills or inactivates microbes that remain. They are not the same step, and a disinfectant on top of dirt does less than the label claims. The spectrum, the contact time and the surface decide the product. A wipe is the mechanical half of the same job. Chemical classification is on ECHA. Workplace practice is EU-OSHA on dangerous substances. Biosafety context is the WHO biosafety topic.
