The wire gauze is usually used to keep glass beakers or flasks from breaking due to heat shock. ... This creates stress that can eventually cause the glass to break. When a Bunsen burner is used, a piece of wire gauze is often placed between the beaker/flask and a ring that is used to hold the beaker above the fire.
