Neutron pressure devices are available in cooperation with the responsible members of LNS.

Before writing a proposal involving pressure, please check the feasibility with both the instrument scientist, and the relevant pressure cell responsible:

• J. White: clamp cells - single crystal inelastic and elastic neutron scattering, Paris-Edinburgh Press - powder samples, single crystals in optimal circumstances.
  
• D. Sheptiakov: clamp cells - powder neutron diffraction.
  

Below is a link to a file that provides an overview of the routinely available pressure options at SINQ.
Summary of Pressure Cell Options at SINQ (updated Oct' 2016)

Crucial information concerning each routinely available pressure device is summarised in the table below.

Name	Description	Range	Used in	Dim
	clamp cell for single crystal inelastic or elastic ns	10-12 kbar at RT, 8-10 kbar at 1.5K	ILL2,ILL5	d=7, c=20
P15	clamp cell for elastic ns	<15 kbar	ILL2, ILL5	d=7, c=20
P10	clamp cell for inelastic ns	<10 kbar	ILL2, ILL5	d=7, c=20
P18?	clamp cell for inelastic ns	<18 kbar	ILL5	d=7, c=20
P30?	single crystal clamp cell for elastic ns	<30 kbar	APD	d=4, c=8
PE	Paris-Edinburgh press (opposed anvils)	<100 kbar	RT	d=5, c=1.5

where:
d: sample space diameter
c: useable sample height
