Description
The HP tube (high-pressure tube) is a critical component in a 90K PSI of water jet cutter, which is used to deliver high-pressure water to the cutting head.
The .38 in the name refers to the tube’s diameter, which is 0.38 inches.

The HP tube is typically made from a high-strength material like stainless steel or titanium, which can withstand the extreme pressures generated by the 90k psi of water jet cutter.
The tube is designed to be able to handle pressures up to 90,000 pounds per square inch (psi), which is necessary to create the high-velocity water stream required for cutting.
The HP tube serves as a conduit for the high-pressure water, which is generated by the pump and then delivered to the cutting head through a series of fittings and hoses.
The tube must be able to withstand the high pressures and forces involved in the waterjet system, while still allowing for smooth and consistent flow of water.
The wall thickness of the HP tube is a critical factor in its performance.
Thicker walls are able to withstand higher pressures, but may also increase the overall weight and cost of the tube.
Thinner walls may be more lightweight and cost-effective, but may not be able to withstand the same level of pressure.
The length of the HP tube may vary depending on the specific application and pump model.
In general, the tube should be long enough to reach from the pump to the cutting head, while still allowing for flexibility and ease of movement.
