High-pressure high-temperature presses are commonly employed to create superhard materials used in such fields as road milling, mining and trenching, to breakup tough materials such as asphalt, concrete and rock. Many such presses comprise a plurality of piston assemblies that may act in concert to pressurize a cell. Such a cell may comprise a body with at least three canisters disposed therein, each comprising an axis passing through a center of the body. Such a configuration may allow for maximum planes of symmetry within the cell. Les presses à haute pression presse haute température sont couramment utilisées pour créer des matériaux extradurs utilisés dans des domaines tels que le fraisage routier, l'extraction minière et le creusage de tranchées pour disloquer des matériaux durs tels que l'asphalte, le béton et la roche. Nombre de ces presses comprennent une pluralité d'ensembles pistons qui peuvent agir de concert afin de mettre sous pression une cellule. Une telle cellule peut comprendre un corps avec au moins trois boîtiers disposés à l'intérieur, comprenant chacun un axe traversant un centre du corps. Cette configuration peut permettre d'obtenir des plans de symétrie maximaux à l'intérieur de la cellule.
