Pressure Transducer Usage in Hospital Steam Sterilizers for Medical Apparatus On GlobalSpec

From WIKA Instrument, LP

Steam sterilizers, also known as autoclaves, are widely used for sterilization of medical instruments and for predisposal treatment of medical waste. Steam sterilizers are used to ensure sterility of medical instruments like scalpel blades, hypodermic needles and other lab utensils. Medical waste must be sterilized before it can enter municipal waste systems, both sewage and trash.

Level Transmitters

Level transmitters or level transducers are used to measure the level of a liquid or bulk solid material (as well as slurries) within a specified space. For each measurement, they provide an electrical output that is proportional to the input level.

Pressure Transmitters

Pressure transmitters translate the low level output of a sensor or transducer to a higher level signal suitable for transmission to a site where it can be further processed. These devices include pressure sensors, transducers, elements, and instruments.

Humidity Transmitters

Humidity transmitters provide electrical outputs that are proportional to humidity inputs. They measure variables such as relative humidity, absolute humidity, specific humidity, moisture content, dew point, temperature, and pressure.
