BETSA® has developed an internal heating system that reaches 1450 °C continuously, in air, gas or vacuum. It is an internal stage of the BETSA® M-DAC and works on its own or alongside the external heating system, which heats around the cell.

The resistor is 3D printed, so it can be tailored to your anvil size and shape and to your seal material, and special sizes can be studied on request. It ships with two type K thermocouple probes: one soldered directly to the printed resistor to control the highest temperature, one to be glued on the anvil to read the in-situ temperature.

• Connections by external double 13 AWG wire, 2 × 2.5 mm².
• Pyrophyllite insulator body, output spacing 34 mm, Ø6 mm.
• Regulation precision depends on the environment: air, gas or vacuum.

The IHS is hosted by the M-DAC-XCV-THT, a membrane diamond anvil cell built for extremely high temperature. Optical apertures reach close to 60 degrees, X-ray apertures are symmetrical at 57 degrees.

The assembly is plug and play: it is fitted and removed inside the cell with standard fittings for the external power supply and for the internal temperature monitoring.
