Viscosity measurement of melt at high pressure

  • Spring8ならでは

利用事例本文

Viscosity of melt under high pressure has been measured using a falling sphere method, where the viscosity is determined by the sinking velocity of sphere using Stokes equation. An x-ray radiography technique with synchrotron radiation is very useful for the falling sphere viscosity measurement, because it enables us in situ observation of the sinking process and determination of the reliable viscosity. Figure shows the observed images of Pt sphere sinking in NaAlSi3O8 melt at high pressure and high temperature using the SPEED-1500. The high-speed and high-resolution CCD camera provided very good visual contrast between the Pt sphere and melt possible in a short exposure time (1/30 s). The high pressure viscometry using the X-ray radiography technique is very promising for the precise viscosity measurement to various melts in Earths interior, such as magma and outer core melt.
