# Industrial Specification: Automated Gamma Sterilization Processing Line

## 1. Technical Definition
Integrated industrial system for gamma irradiation sterilization of medical devices and equipment.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-1.5 kGy/min dose rate, 25-60°C chamber temperature, 0.5-3.0 m/s conveyor speed**. Failure boundary: **Cobalt-60 source activity decay below 50% of initial 3.7 PBq, chamber temperature exceeding 85°C, conveyor speed deviation beyond ±0.15 m/s from setpoint**, Mechanism: **Gamma photon flux attenuation below sterilization threshold (D10 value &gt; 2.5 kGy), thermal expansion causing source rack misalignment &gt; 2 mm, harmonic vibration at 15-25 Hz resonance frequency**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Heat Sterilization F0 Lethality Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_0 = \int_{0}^{t} 10^{(T-121.1)/z} dt$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Validates microbial reduction integrity for aseptic packaging.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| T | Process Temp (°C) | **$T \in [25-60°C]$ °C** (Per `temperature_range`) |
| t | Exposure Time (min) | Engineering Constant |
| z | Z-value | **10 °C** (Standard for *C. botulinum*) |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Cobalt-60 source decay to 1.85 PBq activity level | 8 | Sterilization dose delivery time increases by 120%, failing to achieve 25 kGy minimum dose in 8-hour cycle | Install dual-source rack system with staggered half-life sources, implement real-time dosimetry feedback control |
| Conveyor motor bearing wear exceeding 0.5 mm radial play | 8 | Product carrier positional accuracy degrades to ±15 mm, causing inconsistent irradiation exposure | Implement predictive maintenance with vibration analysis at 4-6 kHz frequency band, install laser alignment sensors with 0.1 mm resolution |
