Advancing safety and technology in industry WJTA is a not-for-profit association serving high pressure waterjetting, industrial vacuum, industrial cleaning and related service areas by serving as a means of communication and collaboration. The Waterjet Technology Association (WJTA) was created in 1983 at the 2nd U.S. Water Jet Conference, held on the campus of the University of Missouri-Rolla (now called the Missouri University of Science and Technology), by members of the waterjet industry acting in concert with university and government officials. The major impetus to the creation of the Association was to provide a means of service and communication within the industry, as epitomized by the biennial waterjet conferences.Formal objectives of the Association have been adopted as follows:1) To provide a means of cooperation between government, industry, university, and research institutions on all matters of fluid jets and industrial vacuuming, including applications in jet cutting, industrial cleaning, and other uses in the manufacturing, mining, construction, and process industries.2) To foster domestic and international trade of products and services relating to waterjet cutting, waterjet cleaning, and industrial vacu
