A static high‐pressure apparatus based on an internal force produced by constraining thermal expansion is devised. This apparatus does not require a large hydraulic press and is not accompanied by frictional force because it does not have a sliding part. As an example, in case of using lithium fluoride as a pressure source, the high pressures created in the apparatus are measured using pressure dependences of melting points of lead and aluminum. By the measurements, it is demonstrated that the apparatus creates pressures of 1.65 and 2.85 GPa at 440 and 842 °C, respectively. These measured values are in good agreement with the values calculated by using the finite‐element method.
