# Industrial Specification: Distribution Outlets

## 1. Technical Definition
Physical or virtual points where products are made available to customers through distribution channels.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-2.0 MPa (1-20 bar) internal pressure, 233-323 K (-40°C to 50°C) ambient temperature, 0-95% relative humidity**. Failure boundary: **2.5 MPa (25 bar) burst pressure for physical outlets, 353 K (80°C) thermal degradation threshold, 100% relative humidity saturation point**, Mechanism: **Yield strength exceedance of ASTM A36 steel (250 MPa) at 2.5 MPa internal pressure, polymer seal degradation above 353 K via Arrhenius equation (k=Ae^(-Ea/RT)), condensation-induced corrosion at dew point**.

### 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.
