[Case Study] Focusing Tube

Extending lifespan by ensuring the alignment of the water jet nozzle! A case study of the focusing tube.

The "focusing tube" is made of a binder that solidifies ultra-hard tungsten carbide microparticles, making it weak against lateral impacts. If the water flow through the orifice is distorted or spread out, it will wear down along the shape of the water flow. The most important factor affecting the lifespan of the focusing tube (mixing tube) is the "straightness of the water flow." The lifespan of the focusing tube varies depending on usage conditions, making it difficult to definitively categorize it as long-lasting or short-lived. Additionally, it is not possible to determine the alignment of the water flow from its appearance. Our company offers a water flow straightness measurement service that can provide clues for problem-solving. If you feel that your lifespan is short, please do not hesitate to contact us. By understanding the state of the water flow, we can identify potential issues and their countermeasures.
