Pressure Technology… Pioneers in HIPing

A History of Innovation

Pressure Technology, Inc. was founded in 1977 to design and manufacture Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) equipment. The founder of Pressure Technology, Inc. had designed and installed a variety of high pressure equipment throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. Pressure Technology’s original goal of manufacturing high pressure equipment was quickly modified to provide local, responsive toll HIP service. PTI installed its first unit in Huntington Valley, Pennsylvania. By providing toll HIP service to their customers, the major capital investment was eliminated for customers requiring Hot Isostatic Pressing. Also the customer could leave the operation and maintenance of the specialized equipment to PTI, a company with total commitment to HIP processing.

Decades of Innovation Driving Industry-Leading HIP Performance

Since installing the first unit in 1977, PTI has continued to innovate and respond to customers’ needs by designing and incorporating the latest equipment improvements. Several innovations such as sharing cycles among smaller / partial loads, application of the enhanced cool process, and computerized process control have enabled faster, more precise processing; more effective utilization of the equipment; and lower costs. Over its history, PTI has continually improved its HIP equipment’s reliability, temperature control, data capture and quality control. Today, PTI equipment operates with unequaled reliability.
