English Translation of Title:
High-Pressure Bent Tube for Water Jet Cutting Machine – 38 mm, Model No. 10094704-HP-Tube-Bent-38-Waterjet-Cutting-Machine.830.3-1

Introduction, Application, Features, and Maintenance:

This component is a high-pressure bent tube designed for water jet cutting systems. It is a pre-formed rigid tube with a 38 mm nominal size, featuring one or more bends to route high-pressure water or abrasive slurry between components in confined spaces.

Application:
Used to convey high-pressure water or abrasive slurry between components in water jet cutting machines, such as between the pump and attenuator, attenuator and cutting head, or within manifold assemblies where directional changes are required. Particularly useful where flexible hoses cannot be used due to pressure or space limitations.

Features:

• Rated for extreme pressures common in water jet cutting, up to 6,000 bar (87,000 psi).

• Pre-formed bends eliminate the need for additional angled fittings, reducing potential leak points.

• Smooth internal bore minimizes pressure loss and flow turbulence.

• Manufactured from high-strength, corrosion-resistant material suitable for high-velocity water and abrasive slurry.

• Precision-bent to exact angles for consistent installation and fit.

• Resistant to vibration-induced fatigue when properly supported.

Maintenance:

• Regularly inspect the entire tube length, including bends, for signs of erosion, cracking, pitting, or external damage.

• Check all connection ends for high-pressure leakage during operation.

• Pay special attention to the outer radius of bends, where erosion and stress are most concentrated.

• Replace the tube immediately if any wall thinning, cracking, or leakage is detected.

• Ensure proper tube supports and clamps are in place to prevent excessive vibration.

• Clean internal bore before installation to prevent debris from damaging downstream components.

• Follow specified torque values for all connections.
