Autoclave Problems? Jiwei’s Level Meters Have You Covered!
Autoclaves are critical in various industries, especially in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, where they are used for sterilizing medical tools, equipment, and consumables. These systems operate under extreme conditions, often reaching temperatures of up to 130°C and pressures of 2.7 bar. To ensure the system operates safely and effectively, accurate level measurement is vital. Jiwei’s Radar Level Meters and Tuning Fork Level Switches (for liquids) are engineered to provide reliable, precise measurements in the demanding environment of autoclave systems.

Why Accurate Level Measurement is Crucial for Autoclaves
Autoclaves rely on high temperatures and pressures to sterilize materials. This makes precise measurement of fluid levels essential to ensure that the sterilization process works as intended. In particular, the water level in the condensate sump must be regulated to prevent overflows or dry running, which could lead to malfunction or safety hazards. Jiwei’s advanced level measurement solutions are designed to keep your system running smoothly, ensuring accurate readings that prevent accidents and inefficiencies.
Jiwei Radar Level Meter: Non-contact, High Precision for Autoclaves

Jiwei’s Radar Level Meter uses advanced microwave radar technology for non-contact measurement. This makes it ideal for autoclaves, where high temperatures and pressures are common. Since the radar meter does not come into contact with the liquid, it avoids wear and tear, ensuring longevity and reducing maintenance needs.
Key features of Jiwei’s Radar Level Meter include:
- Temperature Resistance: Up to 200°C (392°F), suitable for high-temperature environments.
- Pressure Resistance: Compatible with the high pressures typically found in systems.
- Measurement Type: Non-contact measurement, which minimizes the risk of equipment degradation.
- Ideal Use: Continuous level monitoring, making it perfect for consistent and reliable measurement in systems.
- Sensitivity: Offers high accuracy for various materials, ensuring reliable readings in different substances.
- Maintenance: Low maintenance due to its non-contact nature and durable construction.
Jiwei Tuning Fork Level Switch: Reliable Contact-based Measurement in Autoclaves

For point-level detection in autoclaves, Jiwei’s Tuning Fork Level Switch is an excellent choice. Using harmonic resonance, it detects changes in vibration when the fork comes into contact with the liquid. The Level Switch can withstand temperatures as high as 400°C (752°F), making it ideal for high-heat applications.
Key features of Jiwei’s Tuning Fork Level Switch include:
- Temperature Resistance: Up to 400°C (752°F), designed for extreme temperature conditions in autoclaves.
- Pressure Resistance: Suitable for the high-pressure environments typical in systems.
- Measurement Type: Contact-based measurement via vibration detection, perfect for precise point-level detection.
- Ideal Use: Point-level detection (high/low levels), helping to avoid overflows or dry running.
- Sensitivity: Highly sensitive to changes in material presence, ensuring accurate detection in autoclaves.
- Maintenance: Simple installation and maintenance-free operation, minimizing downtime and ensuring ongoing performance.
