Product ID: 20460873 – High Pressure Cylinder

Description:
This component is a high pressure cylinder, specifically designed as the primary pressure vessel for high pressure waterjet cutting systems. It is a precision-engineered cylindrical component typically constructed from heat-treated stainless steel or high-strength alloy steel. The internal bore is finished to exacting standards to accommodate the reciprocating plunger and dynamic seals, providing the chamber where water is compressed to cutting pressure.

Applications:

• Utilized as the core pressure containment vessel in waterjet intensifier pumps

• Positioned between the hydraulic drive system and the cutting head plumbing

• Serves as the housing for the plunger and high pressure seal assemblies

• Suitable for use in ultra-high pressure waterjet systems rated for operation at 4,137 bar (60,000 psi) and above

Features:

• Material Integrity: Manufactured from high-strength corrosion-resistant steel to withstand the extreme cyclic stresses of pressurization and depressurization

• Precision Bore: Features a mirror-finished internal diameter to minimize seal wear and prevent fluid bypass

• Threaded Termination: Engineered with specific thread connections for secure integration with the sealing head and hydraulic end components

• Fatigue Resistance: Designed with optimized wall thickness and material properties to endure millions of pressure cycles without failure

• Interchangeability: Typically manufactured to standardized dimensions, allowing it to serve as a direct replacement for original equipment

Maintenance:

• Bore Inspection: During seal replacement, the internal bore must be inspected for scoring, pitting, or plating loss. Surface imperfections will rapidly damage new seals and reduce cutting performance.

• Thread Check: Examine all threads for signs of galling, corrosion, or mechanical damage before reassembly.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, non-metallic brush and clean water to remove debris and residual abrasive particles from the bore.

• Storage: If the cylinder is to be stored for an extended period, apply a light coating of corrosion inhibitor and cap the ends to prevent contamination.

• Torque Procedures: Follow the manufacturer’s specific torque sequence and values when installing the cylinder to ensure proper preload and alignment.
