High Pressure Steam Sterilization Engineering
TEMPO Instruments Autoclaves are engineered to deliver complete biological sterilization by generating saturated steam under high pressure. Designed to meet stringent WHO-GMP, cGMP, and ISO 9001 guidelines, our pressure vessels are crafted from heavy-gauge stainless steel SS 304 or SS 316 to withstand working pressures up to 30 PSI (134°C).
Key Engineering Highlights
- Heavy Duty Pressure Vessel: Deep-drawn seamless SS 304 / SS 316 chamber hydrostatically tested up to 2.5 times operating pressure.
- Multi-Tier Safety Protection: Spring-loaded safety valves, dead-weight release valve, and low water heater protection switch.
- Auto-Tune PID/PLC Controller: Precise micro-processor temperature control with digital process timer and purge control.
- Lid Safety Interlock: Prevents opening under internal pressure to ensure operator safety.
Key Sterilization Applications
- Microbiology & Culture Media: Sterilization of broth, agar culture media, and petridishes
- Surgical & Medical Instruments: Decontamination of glassware, steel instruments, and bio-waste
- Pharma & Biotech Production: QC laboratory testing and cleanroom apparatus sterilization
- Tissue Culture Facilities: Sterilization of plant growth vessel containers and distilled water

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How often should hydrostatic pressure testing be performed?
Factory pressure testing is conducted before dispatch. Periodic annual hydrostatic testing is advised as per local pressure vessel safety regulations.
Q: What safety features prevent accidental lid opening under pressure?
TEMPO autoclaves feature pressure safety interlocks that physically lock the lid mechanism whenever internal chamber pressure exceeds 2 PSI.
