Usbeck Meker burner all-gas, air regulation
This laboratory gas burner is designed for use with different types of gas and offers precise adjustment options for flame intensity thanks to its air regulation. The larger burner head and wider tube create a particularly powerful flame. Anyone who needs high temperatures in laboratory environments and values reliability will quickly realise that this model is particularly robust compared to comparable solutions and that its optimised design saves both time and energy in everyday work.
Powerful features
The Meker burner is designed for operation with natural gas and propane gas and therefore covers a wide range of applications in chemical and biological laboratories. The high-quality workmanship ensures a consistently high heat output. The integrated needle valve allows precise dosing of the gas flow from below, while the air supply is adjusted by its own regulation. The outstanding features are primarily characterised by safe handling and the ability to make rapid temperature changes. The most important technical data is summarised below:
- Temperature: up to 1490 °C for natural gas and up to 1320 °C for propane gas
- Gas consumption: approx. 120 l/h (natural gas) or 60 l/h (propane gas)
- Heat load: 2 kW (natural gas) or 1.9 kW (propane gas)
- Pipe diameter: 28 mm; head diameter: 32 mm
- Height: 200 mm and weight: 335 g for convenient handling
- Not DIN-certified, yet high safety standard
- Optional adhesive base available on request
In addition, the product has a robust housing designed for long-term use in demanding environments. The built-in needle valve mechanism ensures that gas rationing is easy to adjust thanks to its fine control. The combination of a larger head and wider tube also enables an evenly distributed flame that can cover a wide range of applications.
Certifications and standards
Although the burner is not DIN-certified, it still impresses with its professional safety design. It is manufactured in accordance with the manufacturer's quality guidelines and generally fulfils the standard laboratory requirements for gas burners. Users can rely on reliable flame formation and a robust design that offers the best possible stability even when used continuously in everyday laboratory work. The air supply can be easily adjusted so that the flame shape can be optimised for different processes.
Examples from practice
- Sterilisation of laboratory cutlery in microbiological laboratories
- Heating and drying samples for chemical analyses
- Flaming test tubes and flasks, for example when working with heat-resistant substances such as borosilicate glass
- Carrying out flame staining for rapid sample analysis
When working with propane gas, the device is ideally suited for short-term high temperatures, while natural gas proves its worth in longer test series thanks to its constant heat development. Thanks to its adaptability, the burner is equally suitable for teaching laboratories and research facilities where frequent changes are made between different fuels.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How is the gas flow controlled?
A sensitive needle valve allows the gas flow rate to be regulated. In addition, the flame intensity can be regulated by the infinitely variable air supply.
Can the appliance be operated with other gases?
In principle, it is primarily designed for natural gas and propane gas. Other types of gas should only be used on the basis of the manufacturer's specifications.
Is additional installation work necessary?
No, the burner is ready for immediate use. An optional adhesive base can be installed, which is available separately and provides more stability.
How can the flame temperature be influenced?
The interaction between the air supply and gas setting allows users to adjust the flame temperature and shape precisely to their needs.
Conclusion
This Meker burner enables precise control of the gas and air supply and is perfect for professional laboratory environments thanks to its robust design. High temperatures can be reliably achieved thanks to the wide tube diameter and larger burner head, while the needle valve allows finely tuned dosing. These features make the model a versatile tool in chemistry and biology laboratories, as it can be easily adapted to different tasks. Thanks to its high performance and durability, the device provides an ideal basis for a wide range of experiments and workflows and is characterised by its safe and convenient operation.
