What is the "Heat Transfer Time Lag"?

2022.07.21

When using Autoclave, the display shows the ambient temperature inside the chamber, but the temperature of articles to be sterilized arrives later than the display temperature. This is called “Heat Transfer Time Lag”.

Sterilization setting time = Sterilization time + Heat transfer time lag

It is recommended to add the Heat Transfer Time Lag to the sterilization time for more secure sterilization.

For details, please check the Heat Transfer Time Lag test data below.
