# Industrial Specification: Process Analytical Technology Module

## 1. Technical Definition
A modular analytical system integrated into continuous flow chemical synthesis systems for real-time monitoring and control of chemical processes.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-100 bar, 5-50°C, pH 0-14**. Failure boundary: **Pressure &gt; 120 bar causes seal rupture, temperature &gt; 80°C degrades optical components, pH &lt; -1 or &gt; 15 corrodes wetted surfaces**, Mechanism: **Seal failure due to elastomer compression set exceeding 25% at 120 bar, optical polymer degradation via Arrhenius kinetics above 80°C, corrosion via Nernst equation at extreme pH**.

### 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.
