PCT No. PCT/FR92/00968 Sec. 371 Date Jun. 14, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Jun. 14, 1994 PCT Filed Oct. 14, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO93/08456 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 29, 1993.A device for compressing a specimen which includes a fixed support assembly supporting the specimen and a mobile piston assembly which compresses the specimen. The support assembly and the piston assemblies have respective first and second planar faces in contact with and supporting the specimen. The specimen is compressed between the first and second planar faces. Each of the supported piston assembly include a swivel joint and a part of the mobile piston assembly has the first planar face slidably engaging a part of the fixed assembly having the second planar face.
