Sterilization Vacuum Cycle Stages Medical device sterilization chambers rely on precise vacuum control to ensure complete air removal, sterilant penetration, and safe drying. Whether using steam autoclaves, ethylene oxide (EtO) systems, or low-temperature hydrogen peroxide plasma processes, the vacuum cycle follows distinct stages that demand reliable pressure monitoring. In prevacuum steam sterilization (per ISO 17665), […]

Vacuum Gauge Application in Hydrogen Processing Systems Hydrogen processing—whether in annealing furnaces, fuel-cell manufacturing, semiconductor hydrogenation, or hydrogen storage systems—requires precise vacuum control to prevent oxidation, ensure purity, and maintain process safety. Hydrogen’s unique physical properties, however, introduce measurement challenges that standard air-calibrated gauges cannot ignore. The VG-SP205 Pirani Vacuum Transmitter and VG-SM225 Cold Cathode
