HPLT-100 High Pressure - Low Temperature "Oiling" Apparatus

Gemlab's High Pressure-Low Temperature model HPLT-100 gemstone oiling machine is a desktop, compact apparatus that works in any environment. The oiling apparatus is used to induce oils, resins, oleoresins and almost any combination of compatible liquid "fillers" of any viscosity into the surface-reaching fissures on emeralds and other gemstones. This results in "filling" the cracks/fissures of the gemstone hiding their imperfections, increasing their diaphaneity, thus producing apparent clarity improvement. The practical application of the oiling is based on simple principles in physics enabling to obtain pressures to 260 bar ( 3770 psi) at 120oC in about 45 minutes depending the type of filler, load and other parameters. Higher pressures to about 600 bar (8700 psi) are achieved if the temperature is increased to 200oC. The oiling apparatus consists of these parts:

  • Stainless steel capsule - where the stones are loaded, heated and highly pressurized
  • Pressure gauge (range 0-600 bar (7,977 psi), ON-OFF valve and other fittings
  • Control console housing the temperature programmer/controller, various other temperature control parts and instruments
