Temperature and pressure of sterilizer

The temperature and pressure of the sterilizer are key factors affecting its sterilization effect. When using a high-pressure steam sterilizer, the usual pressure and temperature conditions are as follows:
Lower exhaust pressure steam sterilizer: When the pressure rises to 103.4 kPa (1.05 kg/cm ²), the temperature needs to reach 121.3 ° C and maintain it for 15 to 30 minutes to achieve the basic sterilization purpose.
Pulsating vacuum pressure steam sterilizer: At a higher pressure (205.8kPa, 2.1kg/cm ²), the temperature needs to reach 132 ° C or above and be maintained for 10 minutes to kill all microorganisms, including spores.
Types of sterilizers and their temperature and pressure requirements for exhaust pressure steam sterilizers: suitable for general laboratories and medical institutions, with a temperature of 121.3 ° C, a pressure of 103.4kPa, and a maintenance time of 15 to 30 minutes.
Pulsating vacuum pressure steam sterilizer: suitable for occasions that require higher sterilization efficiency, with a temperature of 132 ° C or above, a pressure of 205.8kPa, and a maintenance time of 10 minutes.
The Influence of Sterilizer Design and Operating Parameters on Sterilization Efficiency
The design and technology of sterilizers can also affect their operating parameters. For example, an automatic temperature controlled sterilization pot can automatically adjust within a certain temperature range to ensure sterilization effectiveness while avoiding overheating. The setting and adjustment of these parameters are crucial for ensuring sterilization effectiveness, therefore, it is necessary to strictly follow the equipment instructions and safety regulations in actual operation
