SECTION 5: OPERATION
5.0 OPERATING TUBE SPINNING NOZZLES
As per the WJTA-IMCA Recommended Practices, all operators shall
follow the OSHA regulations for personal protective equipment. (OSHA
guidelines for Personal Protective Equipment are available in document
number 3151-12R 2004, which can be obtained from www.osha.gov.)
All operators shall be issued suitable head protection, eye protection,
hearing protection, body protection, hand and foot protection and
respiratory protection (if needed). For detailed specifications on all
protections required, refer to the WJTA-IMCA ‘Recommended Practices
for the Use of High Pressure Waterjetting Equipment’ Section 6,
Protective Equipment For Personnel.
Operators and crew need to be clear of spray area as
high water pressure is dangerous. The person controlling the cleaning
nozzle must be the operator and must have control of the pressure. Do
not allow a secondary or remote operator have control of pressure. Use
only thoroughly trained operators.
5.1 The Tube Spinning Nozzle can now be used like any standard tube
cleaning nozzle. Periodically inspect the nozzle for damage or excessive
wear.
NOTE:
For improved reliability and longer life, it is recommended
that a filter of at least 10 microns be used on the water supply inlet.
A strainer (100 mesh minimum) must also be used in the water tank
(if equipped with tank).
Failure to follow the following instructions will cause
unsafe conditions, severe injury can result.
•
DO NOT operate the Tube Spinning Nozzle above specified pressure
rating.
•
When used on a flex lance and in a tube much larger than the nozzle
diameter, the Tube Spinning Nozzle must be used with a stinger to
prevent the nozzle from “doubling back” for operator safety.
• Operator must wear ear protection due to the noise generated by the
