# Industrial Specification: Pneumatic Conveyor

## 1. Technical Definition
A device that uses compressed air or gas to transport catalyst materials through enclosed pipelines in industrial systems.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-6.0 bar (gauge pressure), 15-35 m/s conveying velocity**. Failure boundary: **Material yield strength threshold: 250 MPa for carbon steel pipelines, 0.8 bar minimum pressure differential for dense phase conveying**, Mechanism: **Pipeline erosion failure due to particle-wall collisions exceeding material fatigue limit at conveying velocities &gt;40 m/s, causing wall thinning and eventual rupture**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Pneumatic Actuator Theoretical Force**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F = P \cdot A \cdot \eta_{eff}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates real-world pushing/clamping force for rejectors.
