Really Glad I Don’t Work On These Anymore

Posted on by

9 years I worked on and inside what they call HIP Units.

Hot Isostatic Press.

They are basically a very high heat and high pressure cooker for metal parts.

They can be very dangerous as the residents of CederQ’s original stomping grounds town of Canby Oregon found out the hard way Tuesday.

Before you watch the video, allow me to voice my opinion that the unit that blew was probably a smaller unit. The big ones have a 5 foot inner diameter and are about 20 feet deep.

That is a very big bomb.

If you are like most folks and as I was before I went to work on them, you have no idea what a HIP unit is and how they work.

Here is a good video that explains the process and gives you an idea of what they look like,

Hi there, Hosedragger here.  I can’t resist, I love my pups and wanted to share. The one in the left is the Instigator in Chief aka Dean, a Great Dane pup mix about 8 months old.  The one on the right is Daisy my 4yo Great Pyrenees LGD. They are seen playing grab ass in these picture and Dean is losing as normal.

Thanks for your blog, love it, keep up the fine work!!!
