Experimental Petrology In Action: Quenching a TZM-type Pressure Vessel Run at 900 °C and 1,000 bar

A short video of what it looks like to quench an experiment run in a TZM-type (MHC) pressure vessel. This particular run, performed at the USGS Menlo Park (California), was held at 900 °C and 1,000 bar for three days in order to synthesize a hydrous comendite glass.
