Abstract

Flat belt(FB) type high pressure apparatus has been succesfully utilized in various high pressure experimental stations in Korea and Japan to conduct HPHT (high pressure and high temperature) diamond synthesis. Present paper discusses pressure calibration of FB apparatus at high temperature to establish P-T condition of diamond synthesis. We also present some examples of controling P-T condition through careful experimental set-up of the high pressure sample cells. Finally we discuss reproducibility of pressure and temperature condition of the HPHT diamond synthesis.
