(3-1) General Introduction of the Autoclave Device
What is an Autoclave?
Generally speaking, an autoclave is a device with a steam con-
tainer used from sterilizing laboratory or hospital materials and
equipment. Autoclave is used for medical, dental, medicinal,
food industries, microbial environments culture and veterinary
medicine purposes etc.
Autoclave is an important device in treatment centers for ster-
ilizing necessary equipment used in surgery. Performing a safe
surgery, producing a medicine or culturing a microbial environ-
ment requires a proper autoclave.
(3-1-1) Classication of Autoclaves based on Steam Tank
Availability
The autoclave works with water steam and the steam sterilizes
the content inside the device such as pegs, gloves or other
contaminated items at high temperature (121 – 134 `C) under
pressure (2.3 – 3.2 Bar). Therefore the autoclave can be classi-
ed into two groups based on the steam factor:
A- Steam supplied from an exterior source (central steam)
B- Steam supplied from the steam generator of the autoclave,
which can be provided using a series of electrical elements
oating inside a water tank or through a gas-operated steam
source generated through a gas torch put in front of the water
tank.
Autoclave is manufactured in various types for laboratories,
hospitals and dental clinics in cylindrical or cube shapes, verti-
cally or horizontally, with one or two doors. They may be used
based on the designated application.
(3-1-2) Classication of Autoclaves based on Geometry
and Volume
Autoclave may be classied based on geometry and volume in
the three following classes:
Device Introduction

Vacuum Sterilizer
Autoclave

1- Vertical autoclave (laboratory autoclave)
2- Horizontal autoclave (gravity autoclave, pre-vacuum
autoclave, pulsomatic autoclave) or hospital autoclave
3- Desktop autoclave (dentistry autoclave)
(3-1-3) Classication of Dental Autoclaves
Autoclaves can be classied in the eld of dentistry regarding
their application range (and method of sterilization) into three
general classes:
N Type: for sterilizing unwrapped solid loads.
S Type: for sterilizing unwrapped solid loads and other loads
recommended by the manufacturer. Please note that this type
of autoclave is not capable of sterilizing every type of load
(those special for B type autoclaves).
B Type: for sterilizing wrapped metal loads, unwrapped metal
loads, wrapped hollow loads, unwrapped hollow loads, porous
and cloth loads.
(3-1-4) General Components of an Autoclave Device
An autoclave (sterilizer) may be constructed with the following
parts. Additional or less items may also be available based on
the device’s application.
Interior tank (chamber), exterior tank (jacket), autoclave door
(sonar, pneumatic), steam generator source, elements, vacuum
pump, valves (on-way, electrical and pneumatic), relief valve
and connectors.
