Program 13: Air Mixture
This program is intended for liquids in soft packages when the
manufacturer recommends autoclaving at temperature of 121ºC
(250
F) for 15 minutes.
Sterilization is controlled in a way that the sterilization pressure
remains approx. 30% above the theoretical pressure corresponding to
the same temperature according to the steam table. These intends for
prevent swelling or warping of the package.
