Volume measurement of MgSiO 3 perovskite was made in the temperature range from 25 to 500°C as a function of pressure up to 20 GPa by in situ x‐ray diffraction, using a DIA apparatus combined with synchrotron radiation. The measured thermal expansivity ranges from 1.8 to 2.5*10 −5 /K and decreases only slightly with pressure. Our present results are in good agreement with the previous lower pressure (up to 11 GPa) data of Wang et al. [1994] and the higher pressure (36 GPa) data of Funamori and Yagi [1993], but contrast with the results using diamond anvil cell by Mao et al. [1991], particularly in a low pressure range.
