The SPIRIT LAMP | Stainless Steel is a laboratory-grade alcohol burner with a stainless steel body, fuel capacity ranging from 60ml to 400ml, an 8.4cm stable base diameter, and a 70mm inlet opening for easy refilling. The spirit lamp uses a cotton wick soaked in methylated spirit or ethyl alcohol as fuel, producing a clean, adjustable flame suitable for general laboratory heating tasks. The stainless steel body withstands repeated heat exposure without warping, rusting, or degrading the way glass spirit lamps do after extended lab use.
The spirit lamp in chemistry lab context covers flame tests, gentle liquid heating, sterilisation of metal instruments, and simple distillation setups where a lower, more controllable heat source is preferable to a Bunsen burner. The spirit burner flame is cooler and more diffuse than Bunsen burner output, which makes it better suited for heating test tubes, evaporating dishes, and small beakers where direct high heat risks cracking the glassware. One trade-off: the spirit lamp uses produces an open flame that must be managed carefully. Never refuel while the wick is lit and always extinguish by placing the metal cap over the flame, not by blowing.
The stainless steel is preferred over brass or glass for lab spirit lamps — stainless steel does not react with spilled alcohol, does not corrode in humid lab environments, and survives being knocked over without shattering. The laboratory spirit lamp is a standard item in Indian school and college chemistry labs.
