Although Natural Diamond Nozzles are most ideal for waterjet cutting and cleaning & balsting applications, sapphire remain a commonly used orifice material. While sapphire, also known as corundum, is still utilized in the industry today for non-critical applications, due to its inherent material characteristics it does not hold up well to impacts from on/off cycles, metal debris from high pressure lines, or abrasive particles that collide with the orifice edges. Any of these impacts can render the jewel useless in an instant. It takes only one impact on the inlet edge of a ruby or sapphire to chip it, causing jet stream quality failure.

But the natural diamond insert nozzles made by Lasting Diamond (HK) Technology have about 40% less cost than other international competitors, at an affordable price point, allowing you to go the distance with your production without costly downtime to change out unreliable nozzles.
