ORIFICE FLOW PLATES

¼” Stainless Steel Flow Plates

This equipment distributes liquids from one location to another in a series of tubes, rings and flow plates. An abrasive waterjet is the most cost-effective way to cut holes into stainless steel. It took less than 30 minutes to cut all 10 holes that you see in this picture. The circles are a perfect-cut shape and are located exactly where the client specified.

Had our client tried to use a mill, punch press or hole saw to fabricate this orifice flow plate, it would have taken a whole day's worth of labor and machining, and the final part would have been at a greater risk of being unusable. Those alternative methods of cutting lack the ability to maintain tolerances of +/- .003, as the Flow Abrasive Waterjet can.

With our technical know-how, we are able to customize each part for our client. This affords them the ability to customize packages for their clients. As the part specifications change, our client can e-mail the drawings to us. The waterjet is programmed to cut the part in a matter of minutes, in most cases. The ¼” stainless steel is supplied by the customer in this instance, however JIT can acquire material for our clients, too.
