# Industrial Specification: Material Chute Interface

## 1. Technical Definition
Interface component connecting material transfer vehicles to processing equipment via chute systems

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 m/s material flow velocity, 15-35° chute inclination angle, 0.1-0.8 bar pneumatic pressure differential**. Failure boundary: **Material flow velocity exceeding 3.5 m/s causes impact erosion; chute inclination below 12° induces material bridging; pressure differential above 1.2 bar creates seal blowout**, Mechanism: **Impact erosion from particle kinetic energy exceeding 50 J/kg; material bridging due to angle of repose violation (powder cohesion &gt; 1.2 kPa); seal failure from Bernoulli principle creating 0.3+ bar negative pressure differential**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Abrasive material particle size &gt; 5 mm diameter at 3.0+ m/s velocity | 8 | Wear plate thickness reduction exceeding 0.5 mm/month, leading to material leakage | Install tungsten carbide wear liners with 8.0+ GPa hardness rating and 45° impact angle design |
| Moisture content &gt; 8% in hygroscopic powders at 25°C+ ambient temperature | 8 | Material adhesion forming 15+ mm buildup, reducing chute cross-section by 40% | Integrate PTFE-coated chute surfaces with 0.04 coefficient of friction and 5 kW heating elements maintaining 40°C surface temperature |
