Abstract
Shrinkage compensated seal assemblies and methods of compensating for shrinkage of a seal due to temperature variations, are provided. According to an exemplary shrinkage compensated seal assembly, the assembly includes a seal, a first compression member for engaging the upper surface of the seal, a second compression member for engaging the lower surface of the seal, and a plurality of pin members each having an elongate body and a head portion. The elongate body of each separate one of the plurality of pin members slidably extends through a different one of a plurality of sets of apertures in the first compression member, the seal, and the second compression member to provide for maintaining a substantially constant pressure on the seal at given pressure under varying temperature conditions that result in variations in the volume size of the seal.
