1. Scope and Applicability

This method covers a dedicated, unheated electrical milling and screening route using already dry, clean, untreated waste sawdust to produce loose wood flour for a declared filler application. Flour grades remain distinct by species, particle-size distribution and moisture. Wood wool/excelsior consists of long slivers and has different handling, geometry and intended functions; it is not an alternative reference product or a flour blend. The common classification label does not establish physical interchangeability (hmrc-wood-classification, clemons-wood-flour-2005).

Exclude wood wool, pulp/refined long fibers, chips, particleboard furnish, bonded boards, polymer compounds, chemically treated flour and fuel pellets. Onsite thermal drying, wet washing, chemical treatment or combustion require a separately assessed expanded route; upstream sawdust drying remains in the supplier dataset. No lifetime equivalence to an insulation panel, packaging cushion or finished composite is asserted.

Declare every required qualifier in the dataset metadata or reference-flow comment. Net reference mass excludes containers and transport packaging; bulk dispatch is the declared market state. Neither a sieve mesh number alone nor the word “wood” establishes a grade. The selected Wood material record is a foreground material locator with species, product form, dimensions, treatment, moisture, production route and provider unspecified. It is physically restricted here to one actual clean, untreated, unbound wood-flour filler grade at the bulk-dispatch gate. The required qualifiers and measured batch mass establish that concrete reference; this UUID does not verify a wood-flour supplier background, environmental burdens, compliance, strength or collected quantity. Another wood form, grade or gate is not interchangeable merely because it can use the same broad material UUID.

flour_millReceipt, milling, screening, dry dust collection and bulk dispatchrequiredDedicated unheated electrical flour routeAggregated foreground; stage measurements retained1 kg net accepted flour

Stages: receipt → milling → screening → accepted bulk flour. Screening oversize returns to milling. Captured dust returns only if approved; the remainder has a documented disposal destination. Dust emitted to air is measured after capture, separately from either captured-dust destination. The four records in the internal stage ledger below are diagnostic handoffs within this aggregate, not external product inputs or outputs. Their qualified material states use the same verified wood-material locator without becoming accepted flour, an external purchase or a saleable product. Repeated passes consume measured electricity; internal quantities cancel only in the aggregate material boundary.

Internal Stage Collection Ledger

These four stable record IDs retain separate oversize and captured-dust routing within the single flour_mill foreground. One homogeneous untreated wood material crosses each handoff; the broad locator has no fixed particle grade, form, moisture or provider. Qualify each record by actual species, particle distribution/morphology, contamination acceptance, moisture and stage. Do not infer equal grades or an external supplier link from the shared UUID. Keep raw wet mass, dry mass and water mass, stocks and both end measurements before any burden allocation; these records are not rows in the external process inventory.

Unbound untreated wood flour (flour_output)

Accepted clean, untreated, unbound bulk wood flour for one filler grade at the plant dispatch gate; the only accepted reference output. Record actual species/mix, particle-size distribution and sieve standard, particle morphology, dispatch moisture and net accepted batch mass, with no binder, polymer matrix or chemical treatment. The broad foreground Wood material identity is restricted to that measured product state; provider production route and background compatibility remain unresolved until independently checked. It supplies no default mass, flour grade, yield, burden or functional performance. Internal returns retain their separate product states and are not additional accepted flour outputs.

Where saleable grades share operations, report unallocated physical outputs and separately document the burden-sharing relationship using measured causal drivers; if none is supported, retain an allocation review gap. Do not import sawmill allocation percentages.
a_ledgersall inventory rowsMaintain the physical process/wood-water-carbon balance separately from the allocated burden ledger. Never multiply actual co-product output mass or internal link quantity by a burden share. No avoided-product credit without an explicit reviewed system-expansion scenario.

Rule IDApplies toRuleSource IDs
v_referenceflour_outputExactly one accepted reference output has 1 kg net dispatch flour; all rows and collection denominators agree in both languages. The verified foreground reference UUID and required concrete flour qualifiers must be complete. Its broad physical identity does not establish actual provider/background compatibility or collected amounts.
v_routeflour_millReject wood wool, bonding, chemical treatment, onsite drying/heating or combustion as this route. Do not infer applicability from CPC alone.hmrc-wood-classification, clemons-wood-flour-2005
v_returnsoversize_return; oversize_reinput; captured_dust_return; captured_dust_reinputBoth ends of each return pair carry equal physical mass and moisture; every dust portion has one destination, with no double counting of waste and air emissions.
v_airpm25; pmcoarse; pmover10; water_vapourCheck outdoor-air medium, nonoverlapping aerodynamic bins and emission controls; cumulative PM must not be added to its component bins. Water releases to water or indoor-air exposure records cannot replace outdoor-air flows.
v_balanceflour_millReconcile wood-water-carbon stocks, transfers and losses before allocation; then check the burden ledger separately. Require unresolved measurements or unsupported allocation to remain explicit.usda-wood-handbook-2021
