# Industrial Specification: Fluid Delivery System

## 1. Technical Definition
A subsystem within a robotic coating spray arm responsible for precisely transporting coating materials from the supply source to the application nozzle.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **15-85 bar**. Failure boundary: **Pressure exceeds 120 bar causing seal extrusion or drops below 5 bar causing flow starvation**, Mechanism: **Hagen-Poiseuille law violation at low pressures (ΔP &lt; 5 bar) causing laminar flow breakdown; Tresca yield criterion exceedance at high pressures (σ_yield = 250 MPa for 316SS) causing permanent deformation**.

### 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.

- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in this fluid delivery system for durability?
**A**: The system is constructed with stainless steel for structural components, PTFE (Teflon) for fluid lines to prevent chemical interaction, and polyurethane for seals and flexible connections, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments.

### Q: How does this subsystem maintain precise coating material delivery?
**A**: Through a combination of precision fluid pumps, pressure regulators, and specialized filters, the system maintains consistent flow rates and pressure to ensure uniform coating application without drips or interruptions.

### Q: Can this fluid delivery system handle different coating materials?
**A**: Yes, the PTFE-lined hoses and stainless steel construction are compatible with various industrial coatings including paints, sealants, adhesives, and protective coatings, while the filtration system prevents clogging from material impurities.
