Unit Description - VWR VAPOUR-Line lite Instruction Manual

Unit description

The steam steriliser 'VAPOUR-LINE iite consists of:
Pressure gauge
The pressure gauge registers pressure (PSI). The pointer moves around the dial indicating precisely
the pressure within the unit.
Pressure gauge adaptor
The pressure gauge adaptor connects the pressure gauge to the vessel cover.
Pressure regulator
The pressure regulator is a solid one-piece unit. Accurate pressure readings can be controlled and
maintained by adjusting heat settings.
Air vent pipe
The pressure regulator fits over the vent pipe and allows excess pressure to be released.
Air vent cover lock
The air vent/cover locks automatically 'vents' or exhausts air from the vessel and acts as a visual
indication of pressure in the unit.
Locking bracket
The locking bracket on the inside of the vessel body engages with the air vent/cover lock to prevent
the cover from being opened when there is pressure in the unit.
Sealing ring
The sealing ring fits into the vessel cover and forms a pressure-tight seal between cover and body
during sterilisation.
Overpressure plug
The overpressure plug is located in the vessel cover. It will automatically pop out and release steam
in case the vent pipe becomes clogged and pressure cannot be released normally.
