A waterjet backup ring is a type of seal that is used in waterjet cutting systems to prevent the extrusion or damage of an o-ring under high pressure. Backup rings are typically made of rigid materials such as nylon or PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and are installed on either side of an o-ring to provide additional support and prevent the o-ring from being extruded or damaged by the high-pressure water.

In a waterjet cutting system, backup rings are typically used in conjunction with o-rings in high-pressure applications, such as between fittings, valves, and other components in the water pathway. The high-pressure water used in waterjet cutting can be very corrosive and can cause damage to the components of the system, including the o-rings. The use of backup rings helps to prevent this damage by providing an additional layer of support and preventing extrusion of the o-ring.

Backup rings come in a variety of sizes and materials, and they must be carefully selected to match the specific application and operating conditions of the waterjet cutting system. They are typically made of materials such as nylon, PTFE, or other rigid materials that are resistant to high pressure and corrosive environments.

Overall, waterjet backup ring is a critical component of waterjet cutting systems, helping to ensure that the system operates safely and efficiently. They provide additional support to o-rings in high-pressure applications, helping to prevent extrusion and damage caused by the high-pressure water. By selecting andmaintaining the proper backup rings for your waterjet cutting system, you can help ensure that the system operates reliably and effectively.
