Flexible Conduit for Water Jet Cutting Machine Parts – 38 mm, 1‑Liter Attenuator, Model No. 10186153-Flexible-Conduit-38-1-Liter-Attenuator.840.3-1

Introduction, Application, Features, and Maintenance:

This component is a flexible conduit designed for water jet cutting systems, featuring a 38 mm nominal size and an integrated 1‑liter attenuator volume. It combines a flexible routing path with pressure pulsation damping to smooth high‑pressure flow in the machine’s fluid circuit.

Application:
Used to connect high‑pressure components while allowing flexible routing and simultaneously dampening pressure pulsations generated by the pump. Typical installations include connections between the pump and cutting head, or between rigid tubing sections where vibration isolation and pressure smoothing are required.

Features:

• Rated for extreme pressures common in water jet cutting, up to 6,000 bar (87,000 psi).

• Flexible construction allows easy routing around machine obstacles and in confined spaces.

• Integrated 1‑liter attenuator volume absorbs and smooths pressure pulsations for stable cutting performance.

• Manufactured from high‑strength, corrosion‑resistant materials suitable for abrasive water jet media.

• Combines two functions (flexible routing and pressure damping) in a single assembly, reducing component count.

• Helps protect downstream components from pressure spikes and fatigue.

Maintenance:

• Regularly inspect the flexible conduit body for signs of abrasion, kinking, cracking, or leakage.

• Check the attenuator section for signs of erosion or pressure loss.

• Monitor cutting performance; pressure fluctuations may indicate internal attenuator damage.

• Replace the assembly immediately if any visible damage, leakage, or performance degradation is observed.

• Ensure proper routing and support to prevent excessive bending or vibration.

• Follow the manufacturer’s recommended replacement intervals based on operating hours.
