Notes:
A pressure vessel for neutron diffraction of liquids up to 20 kbar is described. It was made of one or two aluminum-alloy cylinders, having ultimate strengths of ∼6.5 kbar, that were supported radially by three steel supporting rings, which left two 6-mm-wide gaps for the passage of neutrons. The cylinders were supported longitudinally by a force of 300 tonnes applied to the ends of the vessel by a hydraulic press. The experimental fluid was pressurized in another vessel and piped into the diffraction vessel.
