# Industrial Specification: Gas Purging Station

## 1. Technical Definition
A specialized component within an automated kegging and barrel filling system that removes oxygen and other contaminants from containers using an inert gas before filling.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **2.5-6.0 bar (36-87 psi) at 20°C with 99.95% purity nitrogen**. Failure boundary: **Pressure drop below 1.8 bar (26 psi) or exceeding 7.5 bar (109 psi) at gas inlet**, Mechanism: **Insufficient pressure causes incomplete oxygen displacement (Fick's Law diffusion limitation), while excessive pressure risks container deformation exceeding yield strength of 304 stainless steel (205 MPa)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Drop**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\Delta P = f \cdot \frac{L}{D} \cdot \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Critical for sizing CIP (Clean-In-Place) pump heads.
