In a sample cell that is sealed with an X-ray transmission sheet after a sample such as a liquid fuel or the like is contained therein, when an internal pressure is increased, a cup end surface is deformed so as to increase an internal capacity of the sample cell before the X-ray transmission sheet serving as a window part is expanded. The cup end surface is formed by folding a film-like material and, when the internal pressure of the sample cell is increased, the cup end surface is unfolded outwardly of the sample cell to increase the internal capacity of the sample cell. The increase in pressure is relieved by the increase in capacity, and the expansion of the X-ray transmission sheet is thereby prevented.

1. A sample cell assembly instrument used when a sample cell for fluorescent X-ray analysis is assembled by containing a sample in a sample cup, sealing an opening portion of the sample cup in which the sample is contained with an X-ray transmission sheet, and fitting an outer frame on the sample cup with the X-ray transmission sheet interposed therebetween, comprising: a sample cup placing stand for placing the sample cup thereon;wherein the sample cup placing stand has a positioning part positioning the sample cup when the sample cup with the opening portion disposed on an upper side is placed, and a pushing-up part pushing up an end surface disposed on a lower side of the sample cup to convexly deform the end surface inwardly of the sample cup when the outer frame is fitted on the placed sample cup from above,a cylindrical inner frame is fitted in the sample cup on a side of the end surface thereof and an end portion of the cylindrical inner frame projects above the end surface,the positioning part is provided on a flat surface of the sample cup placing stand and has an upper surface that is raised from the flat surface at a height, the positioning part having a shape for positioning the cylindrical inner frame, andthe pushing-up part is a projection projecting from the upper surface of the positioning part and is provided in a center of the positioning part. 2. The sample cell assembly instrument of claim 1, whereinthe positioning part is a column,an outer diameter of the column is a size that allows the column to be fitted in the cylindrical inner frame, andthe upper surface of the positioning part defines the height of the column, the height of the column being smaller than a distance from the end portion of the cylindrical inner frame to the end surface. 3. The sample cell assembly instrument of claim 1, further comprising: a sheet placing instrument that is separate from the sample cup placing stand, has a tubular shape, has both end surfaces in parallel with each other and orthogonal to an axis, has an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the sample cell, has a height when placed on the sample cup placing stand higher than the sample cup, is placed on the sample cup placing stand so as to surround the sample cup, and is used in order to place the X-ray transmission sheet thereon. 4. The sample cell assembly instrument of claim 3, further comprising: an outer frame fitting instrument that is separate from the sample cup placing stand and the sheet placing instrument, has a tubular shape, has an inner diameter allowing the outer frame to be fitted therein, has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the sheet placing instrument, has a height higher than the outer frame, and is used in order to push the outer frame fitted therein toward the sample cup from an upper side of the X-ray transmission sheet placed on the sheet placing instrument to fit the outer frame on the sample cup.
