NOTE: Sterilizing time will vary with the quanitity of items in the Autoclave vessel. Use a steam
clox sterilization indicator with each load.
The data shown above is based on operation of the unit at or near seal level. Because the boiling
point of water varies with altitude the cycle time required for sterilization will also vary.
Useful information for Autoclave use other than microcircuit device testing. You may want to manu-
ally time the Autoclave cycle in the following applications, due to the short time intervals involved.
