Wire gauze can be used to support a container (such as a beaker or flask) during heating. When the bunsen burner flame is beneath it, with a tripod, the wire gauze helps to spread the flame (and heat) out evenly over the container.
It is frequently used in combination with an iron ring and ring stand with a bunsen burner underneath it (see the Related Questions for more information about an iron ring, ring stand, and bunsen burner & tripod).
A clay triangle serves a similar purpose, except that a clay triangle is used for a crucible instead.

ReneWhen wire gauze is used in chemistry, it creates a precise, even heat dispersal. The wire gauze is centered on a ring stand, which allows an open flame to be in contact with it to a certain extent, depending on the desired heat. When an object is placed over wire gauze, it receives a more uniform heat, which is essential for the successful maintenance of the chemical process.
Because wire gauze is able to achieve this, it can also be used as a cooling surface for beakers, Erlenmeyers flasks or other vessels without damaging the supporting surface.
In a laboratory, wire gauze is used to hold stuff on a ring stand; for instance, if you want to boil some water in a beaker using a Bunsen burner, you put a wire gauze on a ring stand, then put the flame under it.
It can also be used as a heat proof mat, in case you need to cool some substances in an apparatus, such as an evaporating dish after intense heating.
