Abstract
In some aspects, waterjet cutting pressurization systems can include a water pump: (i) having a pressurization chamber and (ii) having a high-pressure water seal maintaining water pressure within the chamber; and a leak detector in fluid communication with the high-pressure water seal and configured to monitor a leak rate of a fluid from the high-pressure water seal.
