Autoclave thermocouple is designed to withstand sterilisation
The Labfacility Autoclave Load thermocouple is specially designed to provide the best possible accuracy and stability in the rigorous environment of steriliser chambers. The design has been subjected to successful, thorough evaluation by CMI Healthcare, including leak testing in a vacuum chamber and processing through normal, porous load sterilisation cycles. The sensor complies with test standard HTM 2010, Clause 6.19/6.21.
Harsh conditions in the autoclave subject the thermocouple to high levels of pressure and moisture. The special multiple-seal construction of this autoclave thermocouple ensures that moisture ingress is prevented, even at elevated pressure. The combination of a close-tolerance type T thermoelement and exceptional rugged construction ensure high accuracy, high stability and long-term reliability.
The sensor is protected by a 316 grade stainless steel sheath and bulkhead tube; rugged, flexible stainless steel armour conduit protects the 2m lead with 2.5m of silicone rubber exiting the bulkhead tube. The assembly meets the colour code to BS EN IEC 584-3.
Single and duplex versions are available from stock from Labfacility.
