A high-pressure dilatometer capable of measuring volume changes of 2×10−6 cm3 is described. Fractional volume changes of 1 part in 104 can be measured over a temperature range of −30–90 °C, and a pressure range of 1 bar (0.1 MPa)–3 kbar (300 MPa). The dilatometer is constructed out of a commercial high-pressure valve and a compact home-built pressure sensor. The system was specially designed to study lipid-water biological systems. Preliminary studies on the lipid dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) revealed the existence of phases not previously reported for this lipid.
