# Industrial Specification: Closure Mechanism

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical component that securely seals and opens the filter housing.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-15 bar differential pressure**. Failure boundary: **18 bar differential pressure or 10⁶ cycles at 15 bar**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation exceeding yield strength of 316L stainless steel (205 MPa) due to hoop stress from pressure differential**.

### 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.

- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are available for this closure mechanism?
**A**: This closure mechanism is available in stainless steel for corrosion resistance, aluminum for lightweight applications, and engineering plastics for chemical compatibility and cost-effectiveness.

### Q: How does the safety lock feature work on this closure mechanism?
**A**: The safety lock prevents accidental opening during operation by requiring deliberate disengagement, ensuring operator safety and maintaining proper sealing pressure on the filter housing.

### Q: What maintenance is required for the sealing gasket in this mechanism?
**A**: Regular inspection for wear or compression set is recommended. The gasket should be replaced if any degradation is observed to maintain optimal sealing performance and prevent leaks.
