The high-pressure shock tube has been designed for investigating gas phase reactions at extreme temperatures and pressures.

  • Reflected shock pressures of 1000 bar
  • Reflected shock temperature calibrated for 1000 K - 1400 K
  • Reaction times 0.5 milliseconds to 2 milliseconds
  • Modular driven section - allows reaction time to be easily varied
  • Single pulse operation
  • Single and Double diaphragm techniques implemented
  • Driver section and driven section lengths tuned for specific conditions.
  • High pressure storage tanks
  • Dilute reaction mixtures
