High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT)
High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) refers to a method used in various industrial processes, particularly in the production of synthetic diamonds. This technique simulates the natural conditions under which diamonds form deep within the Earth, involving extreme pressure and temperature to create diamonds from carbon sources.
In addition to diamond synthesis, HPHT is also utilized in the oil and gas industry for drilling and reservoir evaluation. The method helps in understanding the behavior of materials and fluids under extreme conditions, which is crucial for efficient resource extraction and management.
