FAQ Friday: What is “dead heading”? Dead heading is when you have full pressure in an intensifier pump system while the cutting head is closed. It’s a method used to check for leaks within the system. If the intensifier shifts while in full pressure with the cutting head closed, there is a leak present in the system. Intensifiers will only shift while there is a water demand. #FlowWaterjet #WaterjetCutting #FAQFriday #FlowFAQ

What is stream lag and how do I fix it? Stream lag, also known as trail back, is a deflection of a waterjet caused by cutting material. The exit point of the stream along the bottom of the material trails behind the entrance point of the stream at the top of the material. The faster the material is cut, the greater the stream lag. To reduce stream lag, reduce the speed you’re cutting your material at. With an abrasive waterjet, anything under 25% should work. With pure waterjet, it may take some test cutting at lower speeds to verify the stream lag has diminished. #FlowWaterjet #WaterjetCutting #FAQFriday #StreamLag
