# Industrial Specification: Distribution Tray/Manifold

## 1. Technical Definition
A component that evenly distributes fluid to multiple spray nozzles in industrial systems.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-15 bar (7.25-217.5 psi)**. Failure boundary: **18 bar (261 psi) internal pressure causing material yield stress exceedance**, Mechanism: **Von Mises stress exceeding 250 MPa yield strength of 316L stainless steel at 18 bar internal pressure with 2.0 mm wall thickness**.

### 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.
