Pure Steam Testing Service

At Validair Engineers, we specialize in providing reliable Pure Steam Testing and Validation Services to ensure the highest standards of quality, safety, and performance for pure steam systems used in sterilization and cleanroom environments. Our expert team conducts comprehensive testing and validation to verify that your pure steam complies with pharmacopeial standards including USP, EP, and IP — covering key parameters such as non-condensable gases, dryness fraction, and degree of superheat.

Pure steam plays a crucial role in sterilizing critical process equipment, piping networks, and production environments in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare facilities. To maintain the required Sterility Assurance Level (SAL), it is essential to validate the physical, chemical, and microbiological quality of pure steam. Any deviation can directly impact product safety, equipment reliability, and regulatory compliance.

What is Pure Steam Testing Service?

Ensure your sterilization processes achieve the highest purity levels with professional Pure Steam Testing Services. Trusted by industries including pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and food processing, these services are essential for maintaining product integrity, optimizing equipment performance, and ensuring full regulatory compliance.

Which Parameters Need to Be Tested For Pure Steam Testing Service?

Pure steam testing is vital for industries such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and healthcare to ensure regulatory compliance and maintain product safety. By testing these parameters, companies ensure that the steam used in sterilization and clean-in-place (CIP) processes is pure, consistent, and reliable. Regular monitoring helps maintain compliance with standards such as EN285 and HTM, reduces operational risks, and safeguards product integrity and safety in critical applications.

Our Pure Steam Testing Includes:

• Non-Condensable Gases (NCG) Test: We measure the amount of air and other gases that do not condense with steam. High levels of NCG can reduce the heat transfer efficiency and sterilization effectiveness. Our testing ensures these gases are within pharmacopeial limits.
• Superheat Test Superheated steam may indicate incorrect temperature and pressure conditions. Our superheat testing confirms that steam is not excessively superheated, as that can hinder effective sterilization.
• Chemical Quality: We test for the presence of unwanted chemical residues or contamination within the steam.
• Microbial Testing: Pure steam must be free from microorganisms. We perform microbiological tests if required, especially in pharmaceutical and biotech applications.

How To Check Steam Purity?

Steam purity is a crucial parameter in pharmaceutical, biotech, and healthcare industries, especially where steam is used for sterilization, cleanroom environments, or direct product contact.

Key Parameters:

• Non-Condensable Gases (NCGs): Measured to ensure gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide are within acceptable limits, as they can reduce sterilization efficiency.
• Dryness Fraction: Determines the level of moisture in steam. Pure steam should have a dryness fraction close to 1 (≥ 0.95) to ensure effective sterilization.
• Superheat Test: Ensures steam is not overheated beyond saturation, which could damage equipment or affect sterilization.

These tests are conducted using calibrated instruments under GMP and regulatory guidelines to validate steam quality and ensure compliance.
