# Industrial Specification: Automated Beverage Carbonation Control System

## 1. Technical Definition
Automated system for precise carbonation level control in beverage production

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **2.0-6.0 bar at 4°C beverage temperature**. Failure boundary: **8.2 bar internal pressure at 25°C (CO2 saturation pressure limit for standard stainless steel 316L vessels)**, Mechanism: **Exceeding Henry's Law equilibrium pressure causes CO2 supersaturation, leading to explosive decompression and brittle fracture of pressure vessel welds**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.
