FIELD: press for hot isostatic pressing with system for rapidly cooling worked articles. SUBSTANCE: isostatic press for hot isostatic pressing has high-pressure vessel 1 in which furnace chamber 2 is arranged in such a way that there is space 3 between said chamber and walls of vessel 1. Furnace chamber 2 includes heat insulation casing and heat insulation upper and lower walls having passages 5, 6 respectively. Fluid used for transmitting pressure is removed directly from inner zone of furnace chamber 2 and simultaneously pressed articles are cooled and pressure of above mentioned fluid is reduced.
