Deformation experiments on rock materials at 1000 degrees Fahrenheit and 300MPa confining pressure raise significant safety concerns in laboratory settings. The high pressure and temperature conditions make such tests potentially dangerous, necessitating careful planning and safety measures. Measuring deformations under these extreme conditions presents challenges, with conventional methods often involving small samples crushed between diamond anvils. Alternative techniques include using flash x-ray heating or firing pellets from ultra-high pressure air guns to induce deformation. Overall, while the feasibility of these tests is debated, they require specialized equipment and precautions.
