wire gauze
Woven metallic fabric
Wire gauze is a thin sheet of woven metal wire, typically used in laboratory settings as a support for glassware being heated over a Bunsen burner.
The mesh disperses heat evenly and prevents direct flame contact with glass.
A ceramic center often provides additional heat distribution: Place the beaker on the wire gauze before lighting the burner.
