HIGH PRESSURE WATER CUTTING

High pressure water jet cutting is quickly becoming the industrial cutting method of choice for the variety of advantages it offers over other cutting methods. Industries that rely on fine precision cutting or use heat sensitive materials are using water jet cutting as it can render the finest cuts on a wider range of materials... Water jet cutting is when a stream of water is shot out of a nozzle at the high velocity of 40,000 to 55000 psi. The water accelerates though an orifice comprised of diamond, sapphire or ruby and will pass through a "mixing region. Water and an abrasive substance are combined here and the mixture is shot from the orifice combined with air pressure... High pressure water cutting offers several advantages over other industrial cutting methods. It can cut a variety of thick, durable materials, leaving smooth edges.
