In order to achieve maximal hydrostaticity and have a direct readout and control of pressure, we recomment using gas pressure cells. In our implementation, we have a gas-handling systems developped together with the ILL, which then supplies the pressurized helium gas to the pressure stick and then eventually the pressure cell.
Pressure cells compatible with the system:
5 kbar Al cell:
Inner dimensions:
Diameter = 14 mm (13 mm if a container for powder is used)
Height = 40 mm
7 kbar TiZr cell:
Inner dimensions:
Diameter = 6 mm
Height = 50 mm
8.5 kbar CuBe/TAV6 cell:
Inner dimensions:
Diameter = 6 mm
Height = 50 mm
