was it ever dry?
if positive, check the steam quality, steam traps, strainers, loading, packages, preparation procedure
why gravity cycle?
If you study a new process, develop your study. consider the tubings, the package, the way of loading, the autoclave.
When you assume you finished, prove thr effectiveness of the cycle - validate it.
