# Industrial Specification: Injection Molding Machine

## 1. Technical Definition
Industrial machine that melts plastic pellets and injects them into molds to form plastic products.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **80-200 bar injection pressure, 180-320°C melt temperature, 0.5-5.0 MPa clamping force**. Failure boundary: **Injection pressure exceeding 250 bar causes hydraulic seal rupture, melt temperature below 160°C results in incomplete polymer flow, clamping force below 0.3 MPa permits mold flash**, Mechanism: **Hydraulic system failure due to Pascal's law pressure transmission exceeding yield strength of seals, polymer viscosity increase below glass transition temperature (Tg) causing flow cessation, elastic deformation of platens below minimum clamping pressure**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| P | Internal Pressure | Engineering Constant |
