Cold cutting is a procedure for cutting through material with a jet of water and abrasives without the use of heat or flame and without producing sparks.
This makes this process the safest method for cutting structures in hazardous environments. Typical industries where cold cutting is used are oil and gas, materials processing, and petrochemicals.
Cold cutting can be used to cut ferrous and non-ferrous metals to length, and for straight and angled cuts. For example, common types of steel lend themselves well to cold cutting and can be cut quickly without generating much heat and friction.
