# Industrial Specification: Manifold Block/Header

## 1. Technical Definition
A solid block or header that distributes fluid or gas from a single source to multiple outlets within a delivery manifold system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-350 bar**. Failure boundary: **Material yield strength threshold at 450 bar internal pressure**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation due to hoop stress exceeding ASTM A105 carbon steel yield strength of 250 MPa**.

### 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 available for manifold blocks/headers?
**A**: Our manifold blocks/headers are manufactured in stainless steel, aluminum, and carbon steel to suit various industrial applications and environmental conditions.

### Q: How does a manifold block distribute fluid or gas in machinery?
**A**: A manifold block uses precisely engineered internal passages to route fluid or gas from a single inlet to multiple outlets, ensuring consistent flow and pressure distribution within delivery systems.

### Q: What specifications should I consider when selecting a manifold header?
**A**: Key specifications include material compatibility, pressure ratings, temperature range, number and size of outlets, mounting hole configuration, and sealing surface requirements for your specific application.
