Swedish term or phrase: skära stål (whole sentence)
I am not sure of the meaning here - is it figurative or can you really cut through steel with a water pomp (nowadays you never know).
Just so that I am sure, please give an extensive explanation of what is meant by "skara stal".
"De tre hetvattenpumparna går bokstavligen för högtryck. Det här är ”värstingen”, säger Joakim med ett leende och visar pumpen som klarar 2500 bar. Med den kan man skära stål, det är bara att blanda ett pulver i vattnet."

cut steel
Explanation:
The three hotwater pumps are working at peak level. This is our 'flagship' says Joakim with a smile and shows the pump that achieves 2500 bra. With that pump you can cut steel by simply mixing powder in the water
