Frequently Asked Questions What makes Gatti orifice assemblies better than what I am currently using? What is a "High-Cohesive" waterjet orifice? Can I order online from your website? What kind of life can I expect from a sapphire orifice? We have a special need for a custom designed product. Is Gatti capable of manufacturing it? Do you offer custom waterjet cutting service or other machine shop related services? What are your terms of payment for new customers? Q: What makes Gatti orifice assemblies better than what I am currently using? A: We have been in the waterjet orifice business for over 30 years and have been working with sapphire jewels for the majority of our company history! We are a company owned and managed by degreed engineers who understand the detailed physics behind what actually makes waterjet work. We also hold several patents on nozzle design including the industry benchmark "High-Cohesive" waterjet orifice patent. Our core business is manufacturing waterjet orifice assemblies; WE ARE NOT RESELLERS. We manufacture our own housings, polish and finish our own sapphires, and assemble & test each orifice in-house at our Trenton, NJ plant. We understand how to produce a sapphire orifice that yields high-performance while still providing long-life. We carry a huge amount of inventory. Over 90% of our orders ship the same day complete! Q: What is a "High-Cohesive" waterjet orifice? A: High-Cohesive technology was developed and patented in 1993 by company president Tom Ursic. Our High-Cohesive orifice assemblies produce the most coherent UHP waterjet stream available anywhere on the market. This means more of your pumps energy is delivered to the work rather than being lost to inefficient turbulence. Every High-Cohesive orifice assembly is tested in-house at 50,000psi to ensure it meets our stringent standards for stream coherency. If the assembly fails this test, it is rejected and is not shipped. The High-Cohesive design provides the optimal combination of performance along with long orifice life. Q: Can I order online from your website? A: At this time we do not offer an online “shopping cart” for ordering directly from our website. Please use our contact form to send us an email with your order request or any questions you may have. We will respond to your inquiry within 24 hours. Of course, you may call us for immediate order processing between 8:00am - 4:30pm EST Monday - Friday. Q: What kind of life can I expect from a sapphire orifice? A: This is a loaded question! There are many factors at play when discussing orifice life. By far, the most important factor would be water quality. It is critical to have properly filtered (and conditioned) water to have a lasting orifice. Poor water quality is, in our experience, the #1 reason for premature failure of our UHP sapphire orifices. We put great care into polishing our sapphire orifices to a level that provides both a high-performance jet and also tolerance to water impurities. Statistically, you can expect to see anywhere from 30-50 hours average lifespan in a field operating environment from our sapphire orifices. In extremely ideal conditions with both R.O. and D.I.
