# Industrial Specification: Format Converter

## 1. Technical Definition
A component that transforms data or material formats between different standards or specifications within a transformation system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-100 bar input pressure, 0-150°C operating temperature, 10-1000 Hz signal frequency**. Failure boundary: **Pressure exceeding 120 bar causes seal rupture, temperature above 180°C degrades polymer seals, signal frequency beyond 1500 Hz induces electromagnetic interference**, Mechanism: **Seal failure due to elastomer compression set at 180°C, electromagnetic interference from skin effect at 1500 Hz, material fatigue from pressure cycling at 120 bar**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Voltage transient exceeding 150% rated input for 10 milliseconds | 8 | Semiconductor junction breakdown in signal conditioning circuit | TVS diode array with 200V clamping voltage and 10kA surge rating |
| Particulate contamination exceeding ISO 4406 18/16/13 cleanliness level | 8 | Spool valve sticking in hydraulic format converters | 5-micron absolute filtration with differential pressure monitoring at 3 bar |
