Underwater Cutting Equippment

For underwater plasma cutting, the work piece is immersed about 2 to 3 inches under water and plasma torch cut while immersed in the water. The smoke and noise level as well as the arc glare are reduced dramatically. One negative effect of this cutting method is that the work piece cannot be observed while cutting and the cutting speed is reduced by 10-20%. Further, the operator can no longer determine from the arc sound whether the cutting process is proceeding correctly and whether the consumables are producing a good quality cut.
