The HIP (Hot Isostatic Press) uses Argon gas as compression media. The main features of this system are listed below. The HIP first compresses the Argon gas from the cylinders to a pressure of 400 bar using a hydraulic compression system. This chamber acts as a intermediate pressure buffer during the operation. Intensifier: The intensifier of this stage pressurizes the gas from the precompression stage, in programmable steps to the desired pressure (upto a maximum pressure of 2000 bar) for injection into the next stage
