ABSTRACT
The efficiency of the cutting process using high pressure water jets not only depends on the choice of the main operating parameters but as well as especially upon the static and dynamic stagnation force. An original method of providing a measure of the static and dynamic stagnation force of the inner active zone of the high pressure water jets is described. The design of the measuring device is delineated. Subsequently some results of initial experiments are presented and some initial conclusion are indicated in this paper.
