# Industrial Specification: Primer Feed System

## 1. Technical Definition
A subsystem responsible for the controlled delivery of primer material to the assembly point within the Primer Assembly and Insertion Module.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.8-1.2 bar (gauge pressure)**. Failure boundary: **Pressure drop below 0.5 bar or exceeding 1.5 bar for &gt;200 ms**, Mechanism: **Primer material viscosity change due to shear-thinning behavior (Herschel-Bulkley fluid model with yield stress τ₀=15 Pa, consistency index K=0.8 Pa·sⁿ, flow index n=0.6)**.

### 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 |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Piezoelectric actuator voltage drift beyond ±0.5% of nominal 48 VDC | 8 | Primer mass flow rate deviation exceeding ±2% from setpoint 0.25 g/s | Closed-loop PID control with Hall-effect flow sensor feedback (response time &lt;50 ms) |
| Hopper agitator bearing wear exceeding 50 μm radial clearance | 8 | Primer bridging/clogging at feed throat (pressure spike &gt;2.0 bar) | Tungsten carbide-coated agitator blades with 0.1 μm surface roughness (Ra) |

- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in the Primer Feed System construction?
**A**: The system is constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel and high-performance engineering plastics like PTFE and PEEK for durability and smooth material flow.

### Q: How does the metering screw/feeder ensure precise primer delivery?
**A**: The metering screw/feeder provides controlled volumetric dispensing of primer material, maintaining consistent flow rates to the assembly point for reliable operation.

### Q: What maintenance does the Primer Feed System require?
**A**: Regular inspection of the control valve and delivery conduit, along with periodic cleaning of the feed hopper, ensures optimal performance and prevents material buildup.
