Standards:
- Each sterilizer meets applicable requirements of the following listings and standards, and carries the appropriate symbols:
- Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Standard 544 as certified by ETL Testing Laboratories, Inc.
- Canadian Standards Association (CSA) Standard C22.2 No. 125.
- ASME Code, Section VIII, Division 1 for unfired pressure vessels. The pressure vessel is so stamped; ASME Form R-1 is furnished. Shell and door are designed for maximum allowable working pressure of 42 psig (289.6 kPa) for 16 x 16 x 26″(406 x 406 x 660 mm) sterilizers and 40 psig (275.8 kPa) for 20 x 20 x 38″ (508 x 508 x 965 mm) sterilizers.
- ASME Code, Section I, Part PMB, for power boilers, if optional steam generator is supplied.
- Seismic Pre-approval R-0282.
Breakdown of Prevacuum vs. Gravity
- Gravity - designed for sterilization of liquids in flasks with vented closures, at 250°F (121°C), and also heat- and moisture-stabile goods at 270°F (132°C).
- Prevacuum – designed for efficient, high-volume processing of heat- and moisture-stabile materials, such as fabrics, wrapped hard goods, glassware or animal bedding, at 270°F (132°C). Prevacuum units will also run gravity-type cycles.
Gravity units operate by the gravity downward displacement air-removal principle. Prevacuum sterilizers have a chamber evacuation system for high-speed, high-volume sterilization. Both types use steam-under-pressure as the sterilizing agent.
