What Is a Bunsen Burner?
A bunsen burner is a device that burns gas to produce a high-temperature flame.
It allows for the adjustment of gas supply and primary air intake. The main components include a gas hose, gas tap, needle valve, and burner head. There are two main types: the regular type and the direct flame type, each used for general applications and applications requiring a high-temperature flame, respectively.
To use it, one opens the gas tap to allow gas flow, adjusts the primary air intake by turning the needle valve, and finally closes the gas tap to extinguish the flame. To ensure safety, it is important to wear appropriate safety gear and exercise caution when working around the flame. Bunsen burners are widely used in laboratories and factories to generate high-temperature flames. However, due to their potential hazards, it is crucial to use them safely.
