The Pressure Cell
The Pressure Cell is a sealed vessel that can be pressurized up to 138 bar (2000 PSI) over a temperature
range of –10 to 150°C. It can be used either in self-pressurizing mode, in which the pressure is produced by
the volatility of the sample, or by externally applying the pressurization, typically with a high pressure tank
of nitrogen gas. All necessary plumbing and gauges are included as a manifold assembly. The Pressure
Cell is ideal for studying the effect of pressure on rheological properties, as well as studying the materials
that volatilize under atmospheric pressure. This option is available for all Discovery Series Rheometers.
Refer to the Pressure Cell
Getting Started Guide for additional information.
WARNING: TA Instruments' Pressure Cell is designed for use at temperatures up
to 150°C and pressures up to 138 bar (2000 psi). At all times during the use of the
cell, wear safety glasses and clothing that afford adequate protection against the
sample under test, and the temperature and pressure used. At other than ambient
temperature, the outer surfaces of the cell may become very hot or cold. When
operating at these temperatures, wear gloves that afford adequate protection
against the surface temperature of the pressure cell and its fittings.
AVERTISSEMENT: La cellule à pression de TA Instruments a été conçue pour être
utilisée à des températures allant jusqu'à 150°C maximum et des pressions de
138 bar (2000 psi) maximum. Pendant l'utilisation de la cellule, portez toujours
des lunettes et des vêtements de sécurité qui assurent une protection adéquate
contre l'échantillon en cours d'essai, la température et la pression utilisées. Sous
d'autres températures ambiantes, les surfaces externes de la cellule peuvent
devenir très chaudes ou froides. Lorsque vous travaillez sous ces températures,
portez des gants qui assurent une protection adéquate contre la température de
surface de la cellule à pression et ses raccords.
