# Industrial Specification: Water Flushing System

## 1. Technical Definition
A system designed to clean and flush concrete residue from the pumping circuit of a concrete pump.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **15-40 bar (1.5-4.0 MPa) at 20-60 L/min flow rate**. Failure boundary: **Pressure drop below 8 bar (0.8 MPa) at 60 L/min flow or pressure exceeding 45 bar (4.5 MPa) at any flow**, Mechanism: **Cavitation-induced erosion at pump impeller due to NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) falling below 2.5 m, combined with abrasive wear from concrete particle impact at velocities exceeding 3 m/s**.

### 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 |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Calcium silicate scale accumulation exceeding 2 mm thickness in pipe bends | 8 | Flow restriction causing pressure drop to 8 bar at rated flow | Installation of 316L stainless steel pipe sections with 50 μm filtration and automated acid flush cycle every 500 operating hours |
| Seal degradation from pH variation outside 6.5-8.5 range for &gt;24 hours | 8 | Leakage exceeding 5 L/min at 40 bar operating pressure | EPDM sealing elements with integrated pH sensors and automatic neutralization system maintaining pH 7.0±0.5 |
