<p>The present invention relates to an arrangement for treatment of articles by hot isostatic pressing. The pressing arrangement for treatment of articles by hot pressing comprises a pressure vessel including: a furnace chamber comprising a heat insulated casing and a furnace adapted to hold the articles. The furnace chamber is at least partly encompassed by at least one substantially cylindrical heat insulating portion. The substantially cylindrical heat insulating portion comprises a supporting structure and an insulating layer provided on said supporting structure. A number of slits having a vertical extension over at least a part of said supporting structure is arranged in the supporting structure. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, vertically elongated segments separated by respective slits having smaller curvature than a substantially cylindrical upper portion of the heat insulating portion are arranged in the supporting structure.</p> |
