Brass Spirit Lamp 100ml

Product Code : SCL-CL-12008

The Brass Spirit Lamp 100ml is a compact, shatterproof heating vessel used for generating a localized open flame via alcohol fuel combustion. Specially designed for students, lab technicians, and field researchers, this portable burner provides a safe and steady heat source for basic sterilizations, microscale distillations, and field-based scientific experiments.

Product Description

The Brass Spirit Lamp 100ml from Science Lab Supplies delivers exceptional safety and structural durability for intense school laboratory and field research workflows. Constructed from heavy-gauge, corrosion-resistant solid brass, this lamp completely eliminates the catastrophic shattering risks associated with traditional glass burners. The heavy-walled metal fluid reservoir is designed to withstand mechanical impacts, protecting users against hazardous fuel spills in high-activity educational environments.

This premium heating instrument features a secure screw-top wick assembly that fits tightly against the neck opening to reduce accidental fuel leakages if tilted. Equipped with a matching brass snuffer cap, the burner allows for instantaneous, smoke-free flame extinguishment while preventing alcohol evaporation during storage. It serves as a dependable baseline heat source that performs reliably where external gas lines are unavailable, ensuring continuous operational efficiency across various academic and industrial bench top applications.

Key Features

• Shatterproof Metal Construction: Fabricated from solid, premium-grade brass to ensure complete impact durability and maximum operator safety.
• Airtight Snuffer Cover: Includes a precision-fitted brass cap that smothers the flame safely and prevents chemical fuel evaporation during inactive periods.
• Leak-Resistant Screw Thread: The heavy-duty burner core screws firmly into the neck to secure internal liquid contents against minor spills.
• Low Center of Gravity: Engineered with a wide, flat bottom base to provide excellent structural stability on crowded laboratory workbenches.
• High-Absorbency Cotton Wick: Equipped with a thick, woven cotton wick that draws alcohol smoothly to sustain a stable, soot-free flame profile.
• Optimal 100mL Volume: Provides an ideal fuel holding capacity for long-lasting burns without requiring constant refilling during testing protocols.

How to Use the Brass Spirit Lamp 100ml

1. Remove the protective brass snuffer cap and completely unscrew the central wick holder from the top neck of the lamp.
2. Pour your alcohol fuel into the reservoir using a small plastic funnel, filling it up to a maximum of 80% capacity (approximately 80 mL).
3. Re-insert the threaded wick holder into the neck and screw it down clockwise until it forms a tight seal.
4. Allow the dry cotton wick to sit undisturbed for 3 to 5 minutes so the liquid fuel completely saturates the tip.
5. Light the exposed top section of the wick using a matches or a long-reach electronic lighter while keeping clear of any drafts.
6. Extinguish the flame completely by dropping the matching brass snuffer cap directly over the burning wick assembly.

Handling Note: Never attempt to refill the internal brass reservoir while the lamp flame is actively burning or while the metal body remains hot to the touch. Do not blow on the active flame to put it out; always use the provided snuffer cap to starve the fire of oxygen safely.

Care & Maintenance

• Fuel Drainage: Drain out all remaining liquid alcohol from the brass container if you intend to store the lamp unused for longer than three consecutive weeks.
• Wick Optimization: Trim away charred or heavily oxidized sections of the cotton wick regularly to prevent excess soot output and preserve a clean flame shape.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down the outer brass body with a clean, dry lint-free cloth after it cools completely to remove surface discoloration or fluid stains.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Brass Spirit Lamp 100ml used for?

It is primarily used as a portable, open-flame heating instrument for executing microscale experiments, boiling test tube solutions, and sterilizing biological tools. Because it requires no external utility lines, it is ideal for field work and classroom environments.

What fuel should be used inside this spirit lamp?

This lamp is engineered to run exclusively on high-purity denatured alcohol, industrial methylated spirits, or ethanol with an alcohol concentration above 90%. Never fill it with gasoline, kerosene, or lighter fluid, as those fuels create explosive vapors.

Why choose a brass spirit lamp over a glass alternative?

A brass spirit lamp is completely shatterproof, providing much greater operational safety. It will not crack or break if dropped onto hard concrete laboratory floors, effectively preventing hazardous chemical fire break outs.

Can this burner be used for continuous high-temperature boiling?

It is optimized for gentle, localized flame exposures and short heating intervals. For prolonged, high-intensity boiling tasks or large volume solutions, dedicated heavy-duty laboratory heating instruments are highly recommended.

How do I extinguish the flame safely?

To put out the flame, place the included brass snuffer cap directly over the active wick. This smothers the flame instantly by cutting off its oxygen supply. Never attempt to blow out the flame manually.
