HP and UHP jetting

Water jetting is eminently flexible as a cutting, cleaning and stripping technique. Cape DBI Industrial Services are recognised leaders in the field of High and Ultra-High Pressure water jetting techniques throughout a wide range of industrial applications.by traditional methods, saving time on platforms to significantly reduce shutdown duration .

HP and UHP jetting has numerous applications which draw on thefact that the exact intensity and effect of systems can be varied almost infinitely by pressure selection within a 3,000 to 36,000 psi range and volume delivery from 4 to 180 gallons per minute. Choice of specific jet nozzle types and the temperature of water can also be brought into play to bring even greater flexibility and effectiveness.

Cape DBI’s high quality, high performance systems deliver versatile solutions to every HP jetting project. The technique is widely used for general descaling and cleaning of industrial equipment, for example valves, spool pieces and pipes. It is also particularly suited to removal of coatings such as paint and epoxy resin plus a variety of linings including rubber and glass fibre.

In applications where a new profile is to be worked onto a surface, Cape DBI also offers blasting with grit/water slurries as well as dry abrasive blasting.

HP and UHP water jetting offers a number of advantages over cleaning with abrasives:

• Fast setup: No shrouding of the work area to protect against dust and grit is required.
• Fast clean up: None of the time consuming and costly cleaning and disposal problems associated with abrasives.
• No secondary damage: No dust and grit getting into seals, valves and delicate instrumentation.
• No surface contamination: Surfaces prepared with UHP jetting can be recoated immediately as there are no residual contaminants in the substrate of the surface.
• Ideal for NDT inspection: Water jetting does not result in re-profiling of minor cracks.
