Abstract
A high-pressure cell designed to be compatible with a cryogenic magnetometer is described. The cell is used to perform experiments requiring simultaneous application of uniaxial and confining stresses at elevated temperature on specimens of up to 2.6cm diameter. The primary application of the cell is to simulate conditions which may prevail in the earth's upper crust prior to an earthquake. The cryogenic magnetometer is used to measure accompanying changes in sample magnetization.Operation and perfomance of the pressure cell/magnetometer system is illustrated with data from non-magnetic specimen tests and one granitic rock sample representative of basement lithologies near the San Andreas fault system in southern California.
