Operation of Water Jet System in a Sandstone Quarry and its Impact on Production

Abstract:

The experiments with pure water jets were performed both in laboratory and in a quarry. The basic information about water jet system operation in quarry conditions has been acquired and some relations between data from a quarry and the laboratory ones have been determined. The efficiency of the cutting system in quarry conditions is considered and discussed.
