The pressure transmitting medium is an important element in high pressure physics. A variety of pressure transmitting media exist including Silicone fluid, Daphne Oil, 4:1 Methanol:Ethanol mixture, etc. In this experiment, the hydrostatic limits of pressure transmitting media have been observed at low temperatures and high pressures. In this case, 4:1 Methanol: Ethanol has been used. The hydrostaticity of 4:1 Methanol:Ethanol has been well studied at room temperatures using the fluorescence of ruby by fitting the R1 and R2 lines to Pseudo-Voigt functions. The hydrostacity of the pressure medium was determined by analyzing the full width at half max (FWHM) …
