A vessel in which high heat and pressure [generated by converting water to steam] is used to sterilize objects.
A simple, basic descripton is that it is a fancy PRESSURE COOKER!
TThe development of autoclave by Chambarland in 1884 trememdously stimulated the growth of microbiology. Water is boiled to produce steam, which is released through the jacket and into the autoclave's chamber the desiered temperature and pressure are usually 121Co 15 punds of pressure.
It DependsSince the inside of an autoclave is a pressure vessel, it is generally cylindrical until the size makes casting one piece impractiable, and building from parts begins; some autoclaves are the size and shape of walk in closets! The outside of an autoclave is usually a square or rectangle around the pressure vessel and contains piping, insulation and control valving. I have seen autoclaves that were shaped like a slice of bologna, with the same approximate height to radius ratio.
