Large-volume hydrostatic high-pressure

There is evidence that hydrogen ions, low temperatures, hydrostatic pressure, and sulfanilamide each stabilize the molecule in states characterized by relatively low heat and small volume, whereas hydroxyl ions, high temperature, low presure, and urethane each stabilize the molecule in states characterized by high heat content and large volume, the catalytically active system being intermediate. Apart from... 

The hydraulic press functions by way of a fluid that exerts a pressure inside a cylinder-piston set. In keeping with the laws of hydrostatics, the pressure applied at one point is transmitted to the entire volume of the fluid. It is thus possible to generate considerable force by applying relatively high pressures (around 300 bar) to the fluid, which acts on cylinders with a large surface area (up to 2 m on presses with a compression force of over 6000 tons or 60 MN).
