Also in this case, Tp corresponds to a relaxation time which determines the coupling of the modulated variable to the external bath. The pressure scaling can be applied isotropically, whidi means that the factor is the same in all three spatial directions. More realistic is an anisotropic pressure scaling, because the box dimensions also change independently during the course of the simulation.

Shortly after this time, it was discovered that Bridgman s static high-pressure scale was in error due to calibration problems, and the shock-induced 13 GPa transition became the new calibration standard.

As has been noted, scaling due to inadequate water treatment may, in the short term, lead to efficiency losses but, eventually, could result in overheating and possibly to associated corrosion. Awareness of this has led to an increasing use of appropriate water treatment with increasing boiler pressure. Scaling due to hardness salts is therefore less common now than formerly, but deposits caused by other means may occur with similarly undesirable consequences.

Figure 2.30. Typical one-component systems (a) Room temperature, room pressure region of the well-known PIT phase diagram of water (notice the logarithmic scale of pressure), (b) P-T phase diagram of elemental Fe. The fields of existence of the different forms of Fe are shown a (body-centred cubic Fe), (face-centred cubic), 6 (body-centred cubic, high-temperature form isostructural with a), e (hexagonal close packed), L (liquid Fe). The gas phase field, owing to the pressure scale and the not very high temperatures considered, should be represented by a very narrow region close to the T axis.

The instruments consist of the actual sensor (gauge head, sensor) and the control unit required to operate it. The pressure scales or digital displays are usually based on nitrogen pressures if the true pressure pj of a gas (or vapor) has to be determined, the indicated pressure p, must be multiplied by a factor that is characteristic for this gas. These factors differ, depending on the type of instrument, and are either given in tabular form as factors independent of pressure (see Table 3.2) or, if they depend on the pressure, must be determined on the basis of a diagram (see Fig. 3.11).

Knowledge of the sample pressure is essential in all high-pressure experiments. It is vital for determinations of equations of state, for comparisons with other experimental studies and for comparisons with theoretical calculations. Unfortunately, one cannot determine the sample pressure directly from the applied force on the anvils and their cross-sectional area, as losses due to friction and elastic deformation cannot be accurately accounted for. While an absolute pressure scale can be obtained from the volume and compressibility, by integration of the bulk modulus [109], the most commonly-employed methods to determine pressures in crystallographic experiments are to use a luminescent pressure sensor, or the known equation of state of a calibrant placed into the sample chamber with the sample. W.B. Holzapfel has recently reviewed both fluorescence and calibrant data with the aim of realising a practical pressure scale to 300 GPa [138].

A plot of p°2XA versus temperature for a given 9 is a straight line of constant potential temperature. Such plots are known as pseudoadiabatic charts when plotted with an inverted pressure scale so that pressure increases from top to bottom.
