Here we report the phase boundaries between majorite, akimotoite (ilmenite), and perovskite in MgSiO3 determined by in situ measurements in a multi-anvil apparatus. We used both gold and platinum as internal pressure standards at high pressure and temperature. Our results obtained at 1400-2000°C, together with previous results obtained at 1000-1200°C by Ono et al. [2001], precisely locate the akimotoite-perovskite transition boundary at P(GPa)=25.09-0.0027×T(°C), based on the P-V-T equation of state of gold [Anderson et al., 1989]. Our new experimental data show the position of triple point to be 20.0 GPa and 1920°C. The present measurements reconfirm our earlier study [Hirose et al., 2001] that Anderson's gold pressure scale gives slightly higher pressures than the platinum pressure scale proposed either by Jamieson et al. [1982] or Holmes et al. [1989].
