Steam Autoclave Design

12/02/2006 7:49 PM

i m study bout the material selection for steam autoclave used to sterelize the lab or dental apparatus.the pressure applied is 2.1 bar and the temperature achive 121 degree C.anyone have an idea bout the design consideraation,safety factor,material selection and also the information related.

thank you

Didn't you just post this same question yesterday, but under a different user name?

How much do you wish to know about small autoclaves? If you are designing a unit from scratch then I would suggest that you ask somebody about what sort of problems they have seen in existing units so you know what to avoid in you design. I have a brother that has been involved in the service of small autoclaves for close to a decade. Would you like me ask him for a list of the things he see as inherent problems in current designs that need to be addressed?

I wonder why so many people are interested in developing equipment without the proper knowledge and experience. I call them dreamers because they think they can replace years of learning and experience with a do-it-yourself recipe.

Making a steam autoclave is something that should be reserved for qualified professionals because they can be quite dangerous (pressure, temperature, steam expansion) Besides, all pressure vessels should be certified for safety.

I only hope that I will never be close to any of these improvised steam autoclaves.

So Mario, tell us what you really think!:

I think that I have written clearly what I have in my mind.

It is OK to learn about the technologies involved in autoclaves design as it is with any other kind of equipment, no matter if you're a beginner.

What I can't understand is why many so many people try to do by themselves pieces of equipment that are dangerous by nature without even knowing what is at stake.

I haven't read a word in the messages about safety measures, control devices, pressure relief valves, pressure and temperature measurements, cycle control, and so on.

When someone wants to know the materials an autoclave is made of and still wants to build it, I wonder what he knows about the other issues I have just talked about.

It is OK to make school science projects when there is no risk involved (I did many myself) but when it comes to more complex projects where you can put yourself or any other people at risk, I do believe that someone should say something before it is too late.

I hope this makes my message clear enough.

Yo Woman!

Give the Dude/Damsel a break.

It's obvious from the inquiry that much info is desired. Best to remember that we all started off from scratch.

ok man,cool...i m not doing this alone.actually when i finish the literature survey .i ll submit the 1st phase to my supervisor by next 2week.then i ll discuss for further action.

for safety consideration i got here,http://www.llnl.gov/es_and_h/hsm/doc_18.02/doc18-02.html

but i m still finding for other information.if u got any idea.u can paste here.

thank you

Huh?! What I mean is: Why ever would anyone want to know? Are you trying to build just one for personal use? Or manufacture with scant prospect of selling profitably?

Seems to this writer that wondering about "autoclave materials" (and remember, safety is the ultimate criterion) is like rediscovering the wheel. Autoclaves have been around a very long time...so there's little that could be done to improve them. They are readily available both new and used--used units of all sizes that could be refurbished or used as is. If you intended to market them, you'd need a sizable investment just to have them safety and clinical certified. Quoting materials specs from a web site just wouldn't substitute for extensive testing and reporting required for certification...and defending against likely patent infringement actions. So, unless you were wanting to rig up something for personal use only, the ideas seems to be a non-starter. And even if...for personal use only...pressure cookers are even easier to come by. Of course, it could be that you or your company is looking for a very large autoclave for use in, say, aerospace mfg...in which case, if you have those kinds of bucks, why come here for answers?
