# Industrial Specification: Pressure Housing

## 1. Technical Definition
The structural enclosure within a flex joint that contains and withstands internal fluid pressure.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-345 bar**. Failure boundary: **Yield strength of 413 MPa for 4130 chromoly steel at 150°C**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation due to hoop stress exceeding material yield strength, calculated by σ_h = (P × D)/(2t) where P=pressure, D=inner diameter, t=wall thickness**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.
