Bunsen burner

Bunsen burner
A Bunsen burner . The hose barb for the gas tube is on the right and the valve for gas flow adjustment is next to it. The air inlet on this particular model is adjusted by rotating the sleeve on the barrel, thus opening or closing holes in the tube.

A Bunsen burner, named after Robert Bunsen, is a kind of ambient air gas burner used as laboratory equipment; it produces a single open gas flame, and is used for heating, sterilization, and combustion.[1][2][3][4][5]

The gas can be natural gas (which is mainly methane) or a liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane, butane, or a mixture. Combustion temperature achieved depends in part on the adiabatic flame temperature of the chosen fuel mixture.
