Autoclave Drain and
Air Detector/Vent
Probe

Although the application conditions for the drain or air detector are not as
demanding as those presented to the autoclave chamber/load probe, their
integrity is just as critical. To maintain this integrity both types are subjected
to the same manufacturing programme as are the chamber/load probes.
