Used American Isostatic Presses AIP3-12-60CP Research Cold Isostatic Press – 60,000 PSI, 3" x 12" Working Chamber

Manufacturer Information

American Isostatic Presses (AIP)

American Isostatic Presses manufactures isostatic pressing equipment for research, laboratory, development, and industrial processing applications. Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) applies high fluid pressure uniformly around a compatible workpiece or powder-filled mold to consolidate materials prior to subsequent processing.

This AIP Model AIP3-12-60CP Research Cold Isostatic Press is rated for a maximum working pressure of 60,000 PSI.

Description

Available for sale is a used American Isostatic Presses (AIP) Research Cold Isostatic Press, Model AIP3-12-60CP, designed for high-pressure laboratory, research, and small-scale material compaction applications.

The press features a 3-inch diameter x 12-inch long working chamber and a stated maximum working pressure of 60,000 PSI.

The system is equipped with a single-wall forged 4340 steel pressure vessel and a quick-opening pin-type closure for access to the working chamber. Pressure generation is provided by a Haskel DFHX 602 air-operated liquid pump.

Electrical requirements are stated as 120/220 VAC.

Potential applications include research and development involving compatible ceramic powders, metal powders, powder metallurgy components, refractory materials, composites, and other materials requiring uniform high-pressure compaction.

Specifications

High-pressure equipment should be inspected by qualified personnel before operation. Vessel condition, pressure ratings, closure components, instrumentation, safety devices, maintenance history, and applicable documentation should be verified prior to returning the press to 60,000 PSI service.
