Abstract:

A high intensity rotating anode x-ray tube has been constructed for use with a tetrahedral anvil press for high pressure studies using x-ray diffraction techniques. The output of the tube is conservatively rated at 150 ma at 35 kV and 70 ma at 50 kV. Tests have shown that the tube may be safely run at 140 ma and 50 kV over prolonged periods of time, with a focal area of approximately 1 x 10 sq. mm. The report gives constructional details of the tube, its associated vacuum equipment and electrical circuitry along with operational instructions and hints on servicing. Author
