Silicone Seal Ring for Autoclaves
A Silicone Seal Ring for Autoclaves is a flexible, heat-resistant gasket, used to ensure an airtight and pressure-tight seal between the lid and the chamber of an autoclave.
Purpose:
Prevents steam and pressure from escaping during the sterilization cycle.
Ensures safe and efficient sterilization by maintaining proper internal pressure and temperature.
Protects both the contents inside and the mechanical components of the autoclave.
Key Features:
Heat resistance: Can typically withstand temperatures up to 250°C (482°F).
Chemical resistance: Resists degradation from steam, cleaning agents, and other chemicals used in sterilization.
Elasticity: Maintains a snug fit even after repeated cycles of compression and heating.
Durability: Designed to endure many sterilization cycles without cracking or deforming.
These rings are essential maintenance parts and must be regularly checked and replaced to maintain the autoclave’s performance and safety.
