Usbeck cartridge burner with safety pilot, DIN, cartridge included
The Usbeck cartridge burner with safety pilot, DIN, including cartridge is specially designed for laboratories where a flexible, safe and precise heat source is required. Thanks to its integrated ignition safety device and robust design, the appliance is a reliable alternative to stationary gas burners. Compared to similar products, this burner impresses with its tested DIN-DVGW certification and the combined use of butane and propane, which enables a long-lasting flame and even heat output.
Properties and special features
The design is based on an integrated thermocouple that generates an electrical voltage when heated. This open-circuit voltage opens the previously manually operated solenoid valve and keeps it open as long as the burner is in operation. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple cools down, causing the solenoid valve to close automatically and the gas supply to stop. This effectively prevents uncontrolled gas leaks.
In addition, precise air regulation and a needle valve are installed, which makes flame adjustment easier. The enclosed cartridge (70 % butane, 30 % propane) ensures a burn time of around three hours, so that longer work is also supported. With a gas consumption rate of 0.13 l/h and an output of 1.4 kW, the appliance is suitable for both spot heating and continuous operation. Thanks to its compact format, it fits perfectly on laboratory benches without taking up valuable work space.

Certifications and standards
This laboratory gas burner fulfils the requirements of the relevant DIN standard and has been awarded DIN-DVGW registration. This guarantees compliance with high safety and quality standards. The special thing about this certification is that it guarantees a reliable and high-quality design in terms of safety, which is particularly essential in the laboratory environment.
Examples of use
- Heating and burning samples in chemical analysis, for example when preparing samples for digestion or drying solids
.
- Sterilisation of inoculation needles and pipette tips, particularly in biological and microbiological laboratory environments.
- Fusing small glass or metal parts in materials testing laboratories and in technical service where pinpoint heat is required.
- Generating flames in pharmaceutical laboratories to process certain substances such as agarose gel or heat-resistant plastics.
FAQ
How large is the flame range?
The flame height varies depending on the setting of the air regulation and needle valve. This makes it possible to achieve a compact flame of just a few millimetres through to a longer flame for larger applications.
What safety mechanisms are integrated
The burner has a thermocouple and a solenoid valve. As soon as the flame goes out, the valve closes automatically and interrupts the gas supply.
Is it complicated to replace the cartridge?
No, replacing the cartridge is quick and easy. The integrated safety valve supports safe replacement, as no gas can escape when the cartridge is removed.
Do you need any other accessories?
An adhesive base can also be purchased to make the appliance even more stable. If the plastic handle wears out after prolonged use, this is also available separately.
Can the burner be used outdoors?
Although the model was developed for laboratory environments, it is in principle possible to operate it outdoors. However, a counterflow of air or strong wind should be avoided to ensure a constant flame.
Conclusion
This burner offers a reliable heat source for demanding laboratory tasks and impresses with its high level of safety and remarkable flame temperature. The integrated thermocouple and precise air and gas supply regulation allow precise, efficient work. In addition, the long burning time of the cartridge facilitates various applications without the need to constantly change accessories. With its DIN-DVGW certification, the appliance proves to be a high-quality and reliable solution for a wide range of laboratory applications.
