PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Autoclave manufacturer Chamber/Load Probe PRODUCT CODE SL100
The environmental conditions found in pharmaceutical autoclave chambers are harsh and extremely testing for any equipment. These same conditions are a major cause of sensor failure in chamber/load probes. This is frequently due to the ingress of moisture at the detector and the unacceptable emission of steam/condensate through the bulkhead connection. Additionally in water cycle systems the chamber assembly is subjected to a continual cascade of high purity water at an elevated temperature and pressure. The ‘Steriprobe’ has been designed to withstand these conditions and offers a reliability factor surpassing that previously obtainable. During manufacture every weld undergoes NDT examination and each completed assembly is 100% tested.
