Abrasive-water suspension jets (ASJs) which jet out the suspension mixed water and abrasive in advance are excellent even at relatively low pressure. Although ASJs system by bypass system is advantageous in terms of equipment maintenance and cost as the jetting time increases the abrasive concentration in the vessel decreases, since high pressure water directly flows into the vessel and pushes out the suspension. In this study, we aim to stabilize the abrasive concentration by the bypass system which has a merit in terms of cost and simple structure and perform highly accurate cuttings. The stabilization of the abrasive concentration was adjusted by changing the opening of the valve attached in the bypass pipeline and changing the flow rate over time. The change in the flow rate was made based on the equation derived from the equation by formulating the change in the abrasive concentration in the suspension vessel by the differential equation. In this study, we conducted experiments on the temporal changes in abrasive concentration of the jet ejected from the nozzle by flowing high-pressure water only on the bypass side, and report on the comparison between the calculated values and the experimental results.
