# Industrial Specification: Gas Distributor

## 1. Technical Definition
A component within the Gas Inlet Section that evenly distributes incoming gas flow to downstream processes.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-25 bar differential pressure**. Failure boundary: **35 bar differential pressure or 0.1 bar differential pressure**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation of distribution vanes at 35 bar due to yield strength exceedance (316L stainless steel: 170 MPa yield strength) or flow separation/stagnation at 0.1 bar causing uneven distribution exceeding 15% variance**.

### 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.
