High Pressure Triaxial Cell - Cell Fluid, silicone oil leaks in to the specimen , URGENT
(OP)
Hi all,
I am desperately writing here. I am doing my PhD and have a serious problem with leaking the cell fluid into the specimen. The fluid is silicone oil and the pressure goes high upto 6 MPa.
I have done so many leak tests but no luck. based on the leak tests I can say the O-rings do not seal well.
Do you have any idea that might give me more clues.
Thanks,
Bardia

You could also use a second membrane and second set of o-rings, might help, might not.
Good luck.

Also, adding another membrane would make the sealing better or not?

Yes I am using high vacuum silicone grease at the ends to help seal.
Thanks a lot,
