A high-pressure chamber with a fast shutter

Abstract

A high-pressure chamber designed to carry out various experiments under a pressure of up to 10 MPa at a temperature of up to 1600°C is described. The use of a ring connector ensures the quick connection of the upper lid and the bottom to the chamber body, the flanges of which are equipped with fast shutters. This joint makes it possible to substantially reduce the overall dimensions and the weight of the flanges of the chamber body and to mechanize the lid opening and closure operations, as well as to provide the required strength, tightness, and reliability of the joint.
