JET PIERCING

Specialty Definition: JET PIERCING

DomainDefinition

Mining

The use of high-velocity jet flames to drill holes in hard rocks, as taconite, and to cut channels in granite quarries. It involves combustion of oxygen and a fuel oil fed under pressure through a nozzle to produce a jet flame generating a temperature above 2,600 degrees C. A stream of water joins the flame, and the combined effect is a thermodynamic spalling and disintegration of the rock into fragments that are blown from the holeor cut. Syn:thermic drilling.
