A strengthened pressure cylinder for piston/cylinder devices is presented for use in angle‐dispersive high‐pressure neutron powder diffraction. It is shown that these cylinders, manufactured from Ti 52 /Zr 48 zero‐scattering alloy and strengthened by the shrink‐fit method, allow the extension of the accessible pressure range of the Kiel–Berlin Cell I to 22 kbar.
