AUTOCLAVE MACHINE (SA 516 Grade 70 (SA 516 Gr.70)
SA 516 Grade 70 is a carbon steel pressure vessel plate widely used for autoclaves, boilers, and pressure vessels operating at moderate to lower temperatures.
It is preferred because of its excellent notch toughness, good weldability, and high strength, making it safe and reliable for pressure-containing equipment.
An autoclave is a pressure vessel designed to carry out processes under high pressure and high temperature. It is widely used in sterilization, curing of materials, and chemical reactions. By combining steam, heat, and pressure, autoclaves can achieve conditions that cannot be reached by normal boiling or heating, making them essential in medical, industrial, and research applications.
Key Points:
- Operates at high temperature (up to 250 °C) and high pressure (up to 30 bar).
- Ensures sterilization, chemical reactions, or material curing.
- Constructed from pressure-resistant materials, often SA 516 Grade 70 carbon steel.
- Widely used in medical, aerospace, rubber, and food industries.
