Base: It is the burner's support and therefore relatively wide and heavy.
Barrel: It is approximately 5 inches long to raise the flame to a suitable
height for heating. This is where gas and air mix for combustion.
Collar: It is a small disk at the bottom of the barrel that adjusts to control
the amount of the air entering the barrel. It has an air hole to allow entry
of air into the barrel.
Gas inlet: connects the Bunsen burner to the gas jet through a rubber gas
intake tube.
Rubber tubing: connects the Bunsen burner to the gas outlet nozzle on
the work bench.
Gas valve: controls the amount of gas entering the Bunsen burner.
Allowing more gas to enter the Bunsen burner creates a larger flame.
Twisting the collar clockwise will reduce the amount of air entering the
Bunsen burner, cutting off oxygen supply to the flame.
Air hole: allows pre-mixing of air and gas before combustion occurs at the
top of the chimney. A collar around the base of the chimney, with a hole
that aligns with the air hole, acts as an air regulator, allowing the air in
the pre-mixture to be adjusted.
