What is ultra high pressure water jetting?

What is ultra high pressure water jetting?

Ultra high-pressure water jetting, or UHP water jetting, is simply the practice of using highly pressurized water to remove a coating or contaminant from a substrate. Sometimes this is achieved by blasting glass, grit or another abrasive material at high pressures onto a surface.

What is classed as ultra high pressure?

UHPWJ is the process of cleaning a surface using water under very high pressure (around 25,000 – 35,000 psi). The pressure of the UHPWJ can be adjusted to provide sufficient force to remove all surface contaminants, including tightly adhering surface rust, leaving the surface completely clean.

What is the pressure for ultra high Hydroblast?

Ultra-High Pressure (UHP) Systems. The key component of all UHP systems is the pump which is expected to deliver pressures ranging from 6,000 psi (415 Bar) to 40,000 psi (2800 Bar). That coupled with power ratings up to 1,000 horsepower (735 kW) means these pumps need to be solidly constructed and durable.

What pressure is high pressure water jetting?

between 10,000 to 25,000 psi
High-pressure water jetting can be just pure water or water with abrasives, cleaning chemicals or other additives at an operating pressure of between 10,000 to 25,000 psi (70 to 170 MPa) from a system that includes an engine, pump, water storage tank hose, specialized nozzle and other accessories.

What is high pressure water?

High-pressure water cleaning is the use of high pressure water between 5,000 to 10,000 psi (34 to 70 MPa) to remove grime, loose paint, mud, mold, dust and other types of stubborn dirt on the surfaces of tanks, buildings, vehicles, streets, bridges, pipes and many more items.

Where does ultra high pressure metamorphism occur?

Global distribution. Geologists have identified UHP terrains at more than twenty localities around the globe in most well-studied Phanerozoic continental orogenic belts; most occur in Eurasia.

Does water jetting produce a surface profile?

It’s important to note that although waterjetting can effectively clean a steel surface, it will not create a surface profile or anchor pattern that is essential for good coating adhesion. However, by removing existing coatings and contaminants, the existing surface profile will be exposed.

What is a Hydroblast?

A simple definition of hydroblasting is the process of using specialized water pumps to intensify water pressure to remove grime and hard deposits from equipment/surfaces. Hydro blasting is usually associated with petrochemical plant maintenance and turnaround work.

How does ultra high pressure water jetting work?

Ultra high pressure water jetting forces water out of a water jetting gun at high velocities. Pumps in the jetting system obtain water from a reservoir and place it under pressure in specially designed hoses that go from the reservoir to the exit orifice of the gun. A trigger mechanism on the water jetting gun opens and closes a valve.

Is high water pressure better than pure water?

But for a few reasons, in some circumstances, there’s no smarter choice than pure water and high pressure.

What is a high pressure waterjet intensifier?

The higher pressure allows you to cut faster, saving time and abrasive. Jet Edge is a leading manufacturer of ultra high pressure waterjet intensifier pumps and accessories for precision waterjet cutting, mobile waterjet cutting, surface preparation and coatings removal.

What is the xp90-100 X-Stream waterjet?

The XP90-100 X-Stream Waterjet Pump is backed by nearly 10 years of extensive research and development in hyper-pressure technology. This pump supports a 75,000 psi continuous operating pressure, capable of producing flow rates of 1.41 gpm and supports up to a 0.017” orifice. The higher pressure allows you to cut faster, saving time and abrasive.
