Laboratory Grade Brass Spirit Lamp

The Laboratory Grade Brass Spirit Lamp is a laboratory burner used for producing a small flame for controlled heating during compatible science and chemistry procedures. Made with a brass body, it is intended for supervised school, college and general laboratory work where compact flame-based heating equipment is appropriate.

Product Description

The STEMAids Laboratory Grade Brass Spirit Lamp is a compact laboratory heating device with a brass construction and wick-based burner format. A spirit lamp operates by drawing a compatible liquid fuel through a wick, where the vapour burns at the exposed end to provide a localized laboratory flame.

The exact fuel capacity, brass grade, wick material, burner dimensions, cap design and approved fuel specification are . These properties must be verified before publishing capacity, burn-time or fuel-specific performance claims. For complementary apparatus, explore STEMAids chemistry laboratory equipment.

Key Features

• Brass construction: The lamp is identified as a brass laboratory spirit lamp.
• Compact flame source: Provides localized flame heating for compatible small-scale laboratory procedures.
• Wick-based operation: Uses a wick to deliver compatible liquid fuel to the combustion point; exact wick specification is .
• Reusable laboratory format: Designed for repeated use when correctly fueled, maintained and handled.
• Educational utility: Suitable for supervised demonstrations involving heating and combustion concepts.
• Portable design: Does not require a fixed gas connection for normal spirit-lamp operation.
• Fuel specification: Approved fuel type and capacity are and should follow STEMAids instructions.

How to Use the Laboratory Grade Brass Spirit Lamp

1. Inspect the lamp, wick holder and cap for damage or fuel leakage.
2. Place the lamp on a stable, heat-resistant laboratory surface away from combustible materials.
3. Fill only with the fuel type and quantity approved for the specific STEMAids lamp.
4. Ensure the wick is correctly positioned and avoid excessive exposed wick length.
5. Close the fuel container before ignition and remove spilled fuel from the work area.
6. Ignite the wick using an appropriate laboratory ignition method.
7. After use, extinguish the flame with the designated snuffer or cap rather than blowing directly on it.

Safety note: This product produces an open flame. Use it only under appropriate laboratory supervision with fire-safety controls in place. Never refill a burning or hot lamp, and never leave an operating spirit lamp unattended.

Care & Maintenance

• Allow the lamp to cool completely before refilling, cleaning or storage.
• Keep the wick holder and fuel opening free from residue and contamination.
• Replace a damaged or degraded wick with a compatible specification.
• Store the lamp according to laboratory flammable-liquid and fire-safety procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Laboratory Grade Brass Spirit Lamp used for?

A brass spirit lamp is used to provide a small open flame for compatible laboratory heating and science demonstrations under controlled supervision.

What is the spirit lamp made from?

The STEMAids Laboratory Grade Spirit Lamp is identified as having brass construction. The exact brass composition is .

What fuel should be used in this spirit lamp?

The approved fuel specification is . Only the fuel specifically recommended by STEMAids should be used because inappropriate fuels can create fire, vapour and combustion hazards.

Can a brass spirit lamp be used in school laboratories?

Yes, when the experiment permits open-flame heating and trained supervision, suitable PPE, ventilation and fire-safety controls are provided.

How should a spirit lamp be extinguished?

Use the lamp’s designated extinguishing cap or snuffer when supplied. Do not blow directly on the flame because this can disturb the flame or spread burning fuel.

Does this brass spirit lamp comply with BS 5865:1980?

BS 5865:1980 covers construction and operation of spirit burners for small-scale laboratory flame tests. Compliance of this specific STEMAids product is and should not be claimed without supporting documentation.
