Hydrothermal laboratory

200 MPa line:
6 externally heated cold-seal autoclaves (steel: ATS). T-P limits: 800 °C at 200 MPa or 900 °C at 100 MPa. Pressure medium: H2O. The temperature can be controlled via internal or external thermocouples, depending on capsule length. Maximum capsule diameter: 5 mm.

500 MPa line:
12 cold-seal autoclaves (steel: ATS or RENE41). T-P limits: 750 °C at 500 MPa or 900 °C at 100 MPa. Pressure media: H2O, CO2, or Ar. The temperature can be controlled via internal or external thermocouples, depending on capsule length. Maximum capsule diameter: 5 mm.

Rapid quench line:
6 rapid quench autoclaves (steel: ATS). T-P limits: 800 °C at 200 MPa or 900 °C at 100 MPa. Pressure medium: H2O. The temperature is controlled via external thermocouples.
