# Industrial Specification: Modular Small Arms Ammunition Production System

## 1. Technical Definition
Integrated industrial line for high-volume manufacture of small-caliber cartridges.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **150-250 MPa (peak chamber pressure during primer ignition and powder burn)**. Failure boundary: **275 MPa sustained pressure or 300 MPa instantaneous peak pressure**, Mechanism: **Yield strength exceedance of cartridge brass (C26000 alloy, σ_y = 124 MPa) leading to case head separation or case wall rupture due to Tresca yield criterion violation under internal pressure loading**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Primer compound contamination exceeding 0.5% moisture content by mass | 8 | Incomplete ignition causing squib load (insufficient propellant burn) | Hermetic sealing of primer feed system with desiccant purge maintaining &lt;15% relative humidity |
| Case neck annealing temperature deviation beyond 315-345°C range | 8 | Case neck cracking during bullet seating due to improper grain structure recrystallization | Closed-loop infrared pyrometer control with 5°C resolution and real-time metallurgical phase monitoring |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| caliber_range | Config-dependent | inch (in) or millimeter (mm) | Verified |
