RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Vacuum Measurement in Steam Sterilizable Lyophilizers JF PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology JO PDA J Pharm Sci Technol FD Parenteral Drug Association (PDA) SP 29 OP 34 VO 47 IS 1 A1 John Welch YR 1993 UL http://journal.pda.org/content/47/1/29.abstract AB This paper discusses the performance and sterilizability attributes of several different types of capacitance manometers as used in steam sterilizable lyophilizers. Recommendations are made for proper capacitance manometer selection, installation, operation, and calibration. An overview of vacuum gauging methods and the performance and sterility benefits of a new high-temperature (125° C) / high-overpressure capacitance manometer are discussed.
