Verification of ball valve internal and piping joint using water jet cutting.

With extensive experience and proven results in water jet cutting, we accept requests for prototyping and verification cutting of difficult-to-process materials such as metals, resins, and composites.

For the verification of the internal structure of a commonly used full-bore design in fluid control and the piping joints, water jet cutting is optimal for accurately verifying the structure of a ball valve, which has a smooth cutting surface compared to other cutting methods and operates by opening and closing through the rotation of the valve body, without any impact or thermal deformation. The lever handle was pre-removed for setting, the valve housing was made of forged brass, the ball was nickel-chromium plated, the seat material was fluororesin, and the O-rings were made of fluororubber. Despite the various materials and void structures, we were able to perform the cutting without significant damage, including to the movable parts.
