Abstract
A cartridge assembly for connection to a frame of a high temperature, high pressure press, having an anvil at a front end of a cylindrical body of the cartridge and a hydraulic chamber within the body adapted to apply axial pressure to the anvil. A radial compression element is disposed around an outer diameter of the body and is adapted to limit radial expansion of the body proximate the hydraulic chamber.

A cartridge assembly for connection to a frame of a high temperature, high pressure press, comprising:
- an anvil at a front end of a cylindrical body of the cartridge and a hydraulic chamber within the body adapted to apply axial pressure to the anvil;
- and
- a radial compression element disposed around an outer diameter of the body and adapted to limit radial expansion of the body proximate the hydraulic chamber.
A method for use in high temperature, high pressure processing, comprising:
- providing a cartridge adapted for connection to a frame of a high temperature, high pressure press with an anvil at a front end of the cylindrical body of the cartridge and a hydraulic chamber within the body adapted to apply axial pressure to the anvil;
- and
- compressing an outer diameter of the body proximate the hydraulic chamber by fitting a radial compression element around the outer diameter.
