- The emphasis then shifted to hot isostatic pressing (HIP), either to achieve additional densification of a sintered part or to directly densify a powder compact encapsulated in a glass envelope.
Examples
-
The Warm Isostatic Press, or WIP, production unit is a press with a high-pressure vessel and pressurized fluid heating to 250°C.

Etymology
The word isostatic comes from the parts iso- 'equal' and static 'standing', with static like the word 'not moving'. It names a process where pressure is the same from all sides, so a material is pressed evenly.
