Water was first recognized as a "soft" tool when rivers carved their way through the ground. By the 19th century, higher velocity streams were being used for washing out and carrying ore from harder formations like coal. As technology advances, we can use higher pressures to achieve higher velocity jets. Water and relatively softer abrasives can penetrate harder materials due to shear rate of impact, or velocity, like how a straw can penetrate a tree in a hurricane.

Why is a diamond orifice the most common choice? Diamond orifices are the most durable. And because of their durability, you won’t need to take apart the cutting head to replace as often as you might with other orifice types. While it’s not as significant with all machines, it is important to use diamond orifices with both the Pivot+™ and Dynamic Waterjet® XD as they are more complex to work on. #FlowWaterjet #WaterjetCutting #FlowFAQ
