# Industrial Specification: Material Reservoir

## 1. Technical Definition
A container within a dispenser unit that stores and supplies material for controlled dispensing operations.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-6.0 MPa (1-60 bar)**. Failure boundary: **8.0 MPa (80 bar) internal pressure causing permanent plastic deformation in 316L stainless steel**, Mechanism: **Yield strength exceedance of 316L stainless steel (290 MPa at 20°C) leading to plastic deformation and potential rupture**.

### 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.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| f | Friction Factor | Engineering Constant |
| L | Pipe Length | Engineering Constant |
| v | Velocity | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Material crystallization at 15°C below pour point temperature | 8 | Flow obstruction causing pressure buildup to 8.0 MPa | Integrated Peltier heating elements maintaining material temperature 10°C above pour point |
| Corrosion-induced wall thinning below 1.5 mm in 316L stainless steel | 8 | Catastrophic rupture at 6.5 MPa operating pressure | Ultrasonic thickness monitoring with automatic shutdown at 2.0 mm wall thickness |
