# Industrial Specification: Chemical Reactor Sealing Gland

## 1. Technical Definition
Mechanical seal component for chemical reactor shafts

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-25 bar differential pressure, -20°C to 200°C, 0-3000 rpm shaft speed**. Failure boundary: **Seal face temperature exceeds 250°C, differential pressure surpasses 30 bar, shaft runout exceeds 50 μm TIR**, Mechanism: **Thermal degradation of PTFE secondary seals at 250°C, elastomer hardening below -15°C, hydrodynamic film collapse at 30 bar ΔP causing dry running**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Hansen Solubility Distance (HSP)**:

> **Primary Equation**: $R_a = \sqrt{4\Delta\delta_d^2 + \Delta\delta_p^2 + \Delta\delta_h^2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Predicts seal/gasket swelling when exposed to CIP chemicals.
