SterimasterTM CHAMBER/LOAD SENSOR ASSEMBLY
The environmental conditions found in pharmaceutical
autoclave chambers are extreme for any equipment. These conditions are a major cause of sensor failure in chamber/load probes, due to the ingress of moisture into the sensor and the unacceptable leakage of steam/condensate through the bulkhead connection. The SterimasterTM Chamber/Load Sensor has been designed to withstand these conditions and offers a reliability factor surpassing anything previously obtainable. Every weld undergoes
NDT examination and each completed assembly is leak tested.
