  • Patent number: 6814316
    Abstract: A high velocity cutting nozzle for connection to the fluid supply tube of a high pressure fluid cutting system. The nozzle includes a housing which threadably connects to the fluid supply tube for receiving pressurized liquid therefrom. A bushing disposed within the housing sandwiches a removable sleeved jeweled orifice disk therebetween at a spray outlet bore of the housing. The bushing includes a flow directing bore with a convergent inlet portion for reducing turbulence, and an outlet portion having an annular cylindrical or divergent inner surface, and an annular convergent angled or curved end surface. The sleeved orifice disk is in co-axial fluid communication with the flow-directing bore and a spray outlet bore of the housing to facilitate fluid flow. The sleeved orifice disk fits within a sleeve receiving bore in the bushing immediately downstream of the flow-directing bore abutting a shoulder of the bushing.

  • Patent number: 6779746
    Abstract: A high velocity cutting nozzle for connection to the fluid supply tube of a high pressure fluid cutting system. The nozzle includes a housing which threadably connects to the fluid supply tube for receiving pressurized liquid therefrom spraying outwardly through a spray outlet bore of the housing. The housing includes a flow directing bore with a convergent inlet portion for reducing turbulence, and a bulbous outlet portion having an annular curved divergent surface and an annular curved divergent surface. An orifice disk is disposed within the housing in co-axial fluid communication with the flow-directing bore and the spray outlet bore of the housing immediately downstream of the flow-directing bore.

The housing includes a flow directing bore with a convergent inlet portion for reducing turbulence, and a bulbous outlet portion having an annular curved divergent surface and an annular curved divergent surface. An orifice disk is disposed within the housing in coaxial fluid communication with the flow-directing bore and the spray outlet bore of the housing immediately downstream of the flow-directing bore.
