Burners are laboratory heating devices used for controlled flame heating in chemistry, science teaching and routine bench work. This range includes Bunsen burners for natural gas and LPG, an LPG Meker burner with stopcock, a portable burner for self-sealing gas canisters, and spirit or alcohol burners in stainless steel, aluminium and glass options.
Bunsen and Meker burners use gaseous fuel to produce an adjustable flame for compatible heating procedures. The selected burner must match the laboratory fuel supply, connection type and intended heating method. ISO 23550 provides general safety and performance requirements for controls used with gas burners operating on fuels including natural gas and LPG.
Spirit lamps use a liquid fuel rather than a laboratory gas connection, making them useful where a small portable flame is required. Because gas and alcohol vapours can form flammable mixtures, burners should be used on a stable, heat-resistant surface with combustible materials kept clear of the flame. ASTM E681 provides recognised methods for determining flammability limits of vapours and gases, while ASTM D56 covers flash-point determination for suitable low-viscosity liquids.
Users should confirm the fuel type, burner connection, flame-control arrangement and compatibility with the intended vessel before use. For LabChoice Australia customers, the Burner range provides practical options for schools, universities, research laboratories and routine chemistry applications requiring controlled open-flame heating.
