Product ID: 05040696 – Accumulator Assembly / Pressure Attenuator

Description:
This component is an accumulator assembly, also known as a pressure attenuator, designed for high-pressure waterjet cutting systems. It serves as a pressure vessel that stores pressurized water and dampens pressure fluctuations generated by the intensifier pump, ensuring a steady and consistent flow to the cutting head .

Applications:

• Used in waterjet cutting machines to stabilize pressure output from the intensifier pump.

• Installed between the high-pressure pump and the cutting head to absorb pressure spikes and pulsations.

• Suitable for both pure water and abrasive waterjet cutting systems requiring smooth, continuous high-pressure flow .

Features:

• Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel to withstand extreme pressures and harsh operating environments .

• Typical capacity of approximately 0.96 to 1.0 liter for effective pressure dampening .

• Designed to handle ultra-high pressure, commonly rated for operation at or above 50,000 PSI .

• Features threaded connections, typically 9/16-inch NPT, for secure integration into standard high-pressure piping systems .

• Helps maintain consistent cutting performance by reducing pressure-related variations during operation .

Maintenance:

• Periodically inspect the accumulator body for signs of corrosion, erosion, or external leakage.

• Check all threaded connections and seals for wear or damage; replace seals as needed to prevent high-pressure leaks .

• Monitor system pressure stability; increased pulsation may indicate accumulator performance degradation.

• Follow proper depressurization procedures before disassembling or servicing the accumulator.

• For pressure vessel certification requirements, ensure the accumulator meets local regulatory standards (e.g., TUV certification) where applicable .

• Store spare accumulators in a clean, dry environment away from impact or corrosive substances.
