A pool fence has to do many things, most urgent thing is function, your pool fence must also be sympathetic to your homes architecture and easily maintained. Glass can fracture when its surfaces or edges are placed into tension. This condition is achieved by initially heating the glass, then cooling both surfaces rapidly. This leaves the center glass thickness relatively warm compared to the outside surfaces. As the center thickness cools, it forces the surfaces and edges into compression. Toughened glass products cannot be cut, drilled or shaped all such labor must be completed prior toughening is carried out. Safety of toughened glass comes from its inherent strength, and from its unique break pattern when broken. When fully toughened glass breaks, the glass fractures into insignificant relatively harmless fragments. Toughened glass can therefore not be cut or modified succeeding the toughening process. The cutter is commonly connected to a high pressure water pump where the water is then ejected from the nozzle, cutting through the material by spraying it with the jet of lofty speed water. Additives in the form of suspended grit or other abrasives, such as garnet and aluminum oxide, can aid in this process. Because the nature of the cutting stream can be easily modified, water jets can be impaired to cut diverse materials, from prepared foods to metals. There are scanty materials that cannot be effectively cut with a water jet cutter one of these is tempered glass, which shatters when cut, regardless of the cutting technology used. Definite ceramics are also immune to water jet cutting. Each material cut will have some unique characteristics that have to be taken into account. The only materials that cannot be cut with water jet are tempered glass, diamonds and certain ceramics. There are six main process characteristics to water jet cutting: Produces no heat damage to labor piece surface or edges. Produces a taper of less than 1 degree on maximum cuts, which can be reduced or eliminated completely by slowing down the cut process.
