An 18-liter autoclave without a timer is a machine that uses pressurized steam to sterilize equipment and materials. It works on the principle that the boiling point of water increases under pressure, allowing it to reach temperatures high enough to kill bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. The "without timer" feature means the user must manually monitor and control the duration of the sterilization cycle.

Material: A robust, double-walled construction, often made of high-quality stainless steel, to withstand high pressure and temperature.
Heating Element: An internal heating tube or element to boil the water and generate steam.
