Gauge

The thickness gauge is a necessary tool to measuring the thickness of the gasket after indenting. Measure the thickness after indenting is useful to calibrate the force necessary to obtain the desired thickness and to have the right space for the sample. The gasket, which acts as a seal in the phase of hydrostatic pressure imposed on the sample, is a thin sheet of about 200 microns which, placed between the diamonds, is indented, reducing the thickness, and then enable the next phase of drilling.
