An autoclave typically consists of a chamber, heating elements, a pressure gauge, a temperature gauge, and a control panel. The chamber is where items are sterilized using high pressure steam. The heating elements heat the water to create steam, the pressure gauge monitors the pressure level, the temperature gauge monitors the temperature, and the control panel allows the user to set the desired parameters for sterilization.
