The cylinder, which was made of strong wire gauze, had an opening at one end and was rounded at the other.

And, by extending this line of argument, he found that surrounding the flame by a wire gauze had the same cooling effect.

When used with a bunsen burner they are placed on top of a wire gauze and tripod stand.

Structured Packing is formed from corrugated sheets of perforated embossed metal or wire gauze.

Secondly, the wire gauze could detach itself from the lamp body, permitting the flame to escape and explode in the surrounding atmosphere.

Wire gauze (G) confines the sodium metal to accumulating at the top of the collection device (P).

In the Davy lamp a standard oil lamp is surrounded by fine wire gauze, the top being closed by a double layer or gauze.

In the context of laboratory experimentation, the combination of the wire gauze plus the added ceramic composite greatly aids in the even dispersal of heat.

Indeed, his whole appearance, accentuated by the blue spectacles with wire gauze side-pieces, was more disreputable than words can tell; moreover, he smelt horribly of lion.

Davy reported that if a candle were surrounded by a wire gauze mesh, the gas would diffuse into the gauze enclosed space and burn there without exploding.

There are two types of wire gauze used in chemistry: a normally woven wire gauze, and one with a white circle imprinted on it.

The wire gauze is centered on the ring stand as to allow the open flame to be in contact with it to a certain extent, depending on the desired heat.

This means that an object placed over this type of wire gauze will receive a more uniform heat from a Bunsen burner than the naked flame of it.

A wire gauze mesh or pad is usually placed between the rings and the flask to prevent the flames from directly touching the glass in the same manner as for a beaker.

It can also be made of metal, such as a wire gauze placed on top of a Bunsen burner, used in a safety lamp or spark arrestor, or used as a fence.

Because of this desired heat dispersal ability, wire gauze can also be used as a cooling surface for beakers, Erlenmeyers flasks or other vessels without damaging the supporting surface (workbench, tabletop, etc.).
