NOTE
The temperature gradient between the liquid and the ceramic spool should
not exceed 212
o
F (100
o
C) when increasing the temperature or 158
o
F
(70
o
C) when cooling, to prevent cracking. For example, if the ceramic is at
a temperature of 20
o
C, liquids at 120
o
C can be handled. If the liquid tem-
perature is 180
o
C, the ceramic spool should be stabilized for approximately
5 minutes at 120
o
C before allowing it to increase to 180
o
C. A similar consid-
eration should be made when cooling. This is especially important when fol-
lowing SIP* (Steam-in-place) procedures.
* SIP procedures per pharmaceutical industry.
