What Are The Required Time Temperature And Pressure For An Effective Pressure Steam Sterilization? A steam steriliser, also known as an ‘autoclave’, uses saturated steam at 121–132 °C. A typical standard for steam sterilisation is achieved after 15 to 30 minutes under a pressure of 106 kPa (1 atm) once all surfaces have reached a
