Burner Tirrill
Product Code : EL-B-10663
Quick answer: The Tirrill burner is a laboratory gas burner in which gas and air are regulated separately: a brass needle valve sets the gas and adjustable air ports set the air. This independent control gives a hotter, better-shaped flame than a basic Bunsen burner, reaching up to 1550 deg C, for general heating and ignition work. Lab Exports manufactures it in Delhi for school, college, research and industrial laboratories.

How the Tirrill burner is used
On a simple Bunsen burner the gas flow is set only at the bench tap, and the air collar has to be readjusted every time the gas changes. The Tirrill pattern adds a needle valve in the base, so the gas supply can be set on the burner itself, while the air ports control how much air is drawn into the barrel. With both adjusted together, the mixture can be brought close to the point of complete combustion, which gives a hotter non-luminous flame with a well-defined inner cone.
In teaching laboratories it is used to demonstrate the difference between a luminous (yellow, sooty) flame and a non-luminous (blue) flame, to heat crucibles and evaporating basins, and for flame tests and ignition of residues where a steady high temperature is needed.
- Connect the burner to the gas tap and close the air ports.
- Open the bench tap and then the brass needle valve slightly; light the gas above the barrel.
- Open the air ports until the yellow flame becomes blue with a sharp inner cone.
- Balance the needle valve and air ports to set the height and heat of the flame.
- After use, close the bench gas tap and the needle valve.

The flame reaches up to 1550 °C when gas and air are correctly balanced.
How is a Tirrill burner different from a Bunsen burner?
