Gaskets Bridgman

In the Bridgman anvil device the sample is compressed between supported anvils of tungsten carbide, and lateral containment is ensured by a gasket that can be made of pyrophyllite or metallic material. A variety of cells based on the Bridgman opposed anvils has been developed [38 0]. Pressures up to 20GPa...

The Bridgman anviP is illustrated in Figure 6(a). Tapered anvils made of WC are supported by steel rings. The sample (or sample cell) is surrounded by a gasket made of pyrophyUite. 

The principle of a Bridgman opposed-anvil apparatus is shown in Fig. 1.13. The sample is compressed between supported tungsten carbide (WC) anvils. It is contained by gaskets which may be pyrophyllite or metallic materials, depending on the measurement to be performed. This design makes use of the massive-support mechanism, in that the maximum pressure which may be...

Bridgman Closure The Bridgman Closure is an Axial type of gasket as opposed to a radial type. The pressure reacts on the exposed gasket area in an axial rather than a radial direction. These are generally only considered above 1500 PSI.

From a design standpoint, the total hydrostatic end force, H, is taken by the threads in a threaded closure, or by the studs in other designs. Various types of gaskets can be used with either design but all are the self-sealing type such as Bridgman, delta or double cone.
