Product Name: Clamp Ring / Split Ring (Part No. CP022057/075)

Description:
This component is a clamp ring (also referred to as a split ring or lock ring), specifically designed for BFT waterjet intensifier pumps. It is a high-strength structural retaining component typically manufactured from hardened alloy steel. According to BFT intensifier parts diagrams for assemblies CP022001/2 and HT022012/172, this clamp ring is listed as a standard component. Its primary function is to secure and retain critical internal components within the high-pressure cylinder assembly, maintaining proper axial positioning under extreme pressure cycling up to 60,000-94,000 PSI (approximately 4,137-6,480 bar). The clamp ring works in conjunction with other components including the cylinder (CP022002/190), piston sealing (XK121/220), wear ring (XF56/220), and retaining ring (HT022044/103).

Applications:

• Secures and retains internal components within the high-pressure cylinder assembly of BFT waterjet intensifier pumps

• Maintains proper axial positioning of seals, pistons, and other components under high-pressure operation

• Used during scheduled preventive maintenance, major pump overhauls, or when component retention is compromised

• Suitable for ultra-high pressure waterjet systems operating at 60,000-94,000 PSI (4,137-6,480 bar)

• Compatible with BFT intensifier assemblies CP022001/2 and HT022012/172

Features:

• High-Strength Hardened Steel Construction: Provides excellent durability and fatigue resistance under extreme pressure cycling

• Split Ring Design: The split configuration allows for secure compression and installation into precision-machined grooves

• Critical Retaining Function: Essential for maintaining proper component alignment and preventing displacement during operation

• High-Pressure Rating: Engineered for continuous operation at 60,000-94,000 PSI (4,137-6,480 bar)

• Direct OEM Replacement: Listed as a standard component in BFT intensifier parts diagrams

Maintenance:

Failure Diagnosis (When to Inspect/Replace):

• External Fluid Leakage: Water or hydraulic oil weeping from the cylinder area may indicate clamp ring failure allowing seal or component movement

• Component Movement: If internal parts shift or become misaligned, the clamp ring may have lost its retaining force

• Visible Damage During Inspection: Inspect the clamp ring for signs of deformation, cracking, corrosion, or wear

• Scheduled Overhaul: Standard practice to inspect clamp rings during major pump overhauls and replace them if any wear or damage is detected

• Intensifier Performance Issues: Pressure drop or erratic cycling may indicate component retention problems

Inspection and Replacement Guidelines:

• Full Depressurization (Critical): Before any maintenance, fully depressurize the waterjet system (high-pressure water, hydraulic system, and air supply) and follow lockout/tagout procedures

• Clean Installation: Perform the rebuild in a designated clean area. Thoroughly clean the mounting groove and all mating surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth

• Groove Inspection: Before installing a new clamp ring, inspect the corresponding groove for wear, burrs, or damage that could affect proper seating

• Full Seating Check: During installation, ensure the clamp ring is fully and evenly seated in its groove. Partial seating may cause component failure under pressure

• Replacement Criteria: Replace the clamp ring immediately if cracks, deformation, corrosion, or loss of retaining force is observed. Do not reuse a damaged clamp ring

• Use Proper Tools: Use appropriate tools for removal and installation to avoid damaging the ring or surrounding components

• Replace as a Set: When servicing the intensifier assembly, inspect and potentially replace related components such as retaining rings (HT022044/103), seals, and wear rings simultaneously
