# Agricultural liquid and powder application machinery manufacturing

## 1. Scope and Applicability

Manufacture of complete ground-based agricultural/horticultural liquid sprayers and pneumatic powder dusters: operator-carried, tractor-mounted and trailed configurations. Define each model as liquid-only, powder-only or documented convertible equipment. Included pump, vessel, nozzle/manifold, boom or blower, metering, drive, guards and supplied controls belong to its complete accepted supply.

Exclude granular fertilizer/manure spreaders covered by the neighbouring material PCR, slurry transport tankers and soil injectors, irrigation-only systems, thermal foggers, aircraft and self-propelled carrier vehicles, tractors, separately sold parts, pesticides/fertilizers, farm application, crop yield, maintenance and end-of-life. No application service reference is defined. This narrower manufacturing boundary does not imply agronomic equivalence between machines.

## 2. Product Category Identity

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| canonical_pcr_id | pcr.metal-products-machinery-and-equipment.special-purpose-machinery.agricultural-liquid-and-powder-application-machinery |
| classification_refs | CPC 3.0 44150; narrower ground-based manufacturing scope, no mapping acceptance |
| covered_products | Complete carried/mounted/trailed liquid sprayers and pneumatic powder dusters; declared configuration separately. |
| excluded_products | Granular spreaders, slurry injectors, irrigation-only systems, thermal foggers, aircraft/carrier vehicles, standalone parts and field services. |
| representative_product | One accepted empty tractor-mounted or trailed liquid sprayer with specified tank, pump and nozzle configuration; powder datasets retain their actual feeder/air path. |
| production_route | Received stock and parts → conditional site metal fabrication, joining, coating and vessel molding → configured assembly/filling → factory tests and rework → dispatch. |
| market_state | New complete accepted appliance; application tank/hopper empty, fluid state documented, shipping packaging excluded from net product mass. |

## 3. Reference Flow

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| What | Manufacturing delivery of a complete appliance for its declared liquid spraying or dry-powder dispersion function; farm application is outside this dataset. |
| How much | 1 kg of accepted net complete machine of one specified configuration; a normalized share of a whole machine, not an independently usable 1 kg component. |
| How well | Matches the released drawing/BOM and actual acceptance specification: tank/hopper, pump or air-path, nozzle/meter configuration, leak/pressure/control tests and supply boundary. Record functional test evidence, not assumed field yield. |
| How long or cycle | One manufacturing and acceptance cycle; service life and hectares treated are unspecified and cannot be inferred. |
| reference_flow_link | `finished_machine` |

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Reference amount | 1 |
| Reference product flow | Mechanical appliances for projecting, dispersing or spraying liquids or powders for agriculture or horticulture `add1cc52-3d10-40c4-864c-97e4a4c428e7` |
| Reference flow property | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` |
| Reference unit group | Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` |
| Reference unit | kg |
| Required qualifiers | model/revision; serial/batch; carried/mounted/trailed; liquid/powder/convertible; tank/hopper material, capacity and empty state; pump, pressure and nozzle or feeder/blower configuration; boom width if installed; drive, engine and hydraulic/electrical options; PTO and guards; included detachable parts; actual acceptance criteria; net mass M; retained oil/fuel state; factory/period; make-or-buy; molding/finishing routes; starting condition; upstream coverage; packaging exclusion |

The broad reference identity is narrowed by these configuration qualifiers; it does not authorize pooling distinct machines. Declare every qualifier in the dataset metadata or reference-flow comment. Missing qualifiers make the reference incomplete.

## 4. Measurement and Unit Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| reference_mass | reference product | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | kg | M = accepted net mass of one complete machine of the same configuration in kg; collect using cp_mass. |
| electricity_units | fabrication_power; welding_power; coating_power; assembly_power; test_power | Net calorific value `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` | MJ | Preserve electricity energy basis: convert recorded kWh to MJ using 3.6 MJ/kWh before normalization. This identity has an energy property; it is not a mass or fuel-heating-value measurement. |
| volume_units | hydraulic_fluid; curing_gas; test_petrol | Volume `93a60a56-a3c8-22da-a746-0800200c9a66` | m3 | Use measured volume with temperature and, for gas, pressure and standard-state convention; liters convert using 0.001 m3/L. A mass record needs actual density at the declared conditions; no generic density is allowed. |
| count_units | tyre | Number of items `01846770-4cfe-4a25-8ad9-919d8d378345` | Item(s) | Retain installed count by specified part type; also collect net part mass for BOM reconciliation. Count is not kg; no generic per-part mass conversion is prescribed. |

Measure M after acceptance with the same retained fluid/fuel state as the BOM: include installed fluid, exclude shipping packaging and towed implements and external payload. Detachable parts belonging to the accepted supply are weighed with the machine or added from traceable weights. Keep actual measured configuration masses; do not average across unrelated variants.

## 5. System Boundary

### Boundary Abstraction

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| declared_starting_condition | Purchased stock and finished components received at the manufacturing site; their production is not automatically foreground-covered. |
| starting_condition_role | Declared material/assembly starting point for a manufacturing module. |
| product_classification_scope | Semantic complete ground-based liquid sprayers and pneumatic powder dusters; CPC 3.0 44150 is classification context only. |
| recursive_input_rule | An incoming partly assembled machine or spray-system assembly is an explicit purchased input with its included parts and upstream boundary. Trace only to that declared supply, and never recursively add the same assembly or included raw material twice. |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Link compatible supplier/material datasets and delivery transport separately when an expanded study requires upstream impacts; disclose actual geography, technology, grade and boundary. Missing providers remain coverage gaps. |
| disclosure | Report factory/period, make-or-buy split, outsourced finishing, tested configuration, transport coverage, packaging, waste treatment and omitted flows. A manufacturing module alone is not a complete cradle-to-gate result. |

| rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| boundary_manufacturing | foreground | Include all actual receipt-to-acceptance activities, attributable utilities, losses, rework and on-site handling. Include each conditional operation only if performed; purchased finished parts carry supplier boundaries instead of duplicated fabrication. | hardi-factory |
| boundary_configuration | complete_machine | Cover every installed vessel, pump/air path, nozzle, dosing gate, boom, drive and control in the declared empty accepted supply. HARDI and STIHL documents illustrate different configurations, not compulsory common parts. | hardi-lbtb; stihl-sr450 |
| boundary_exclusions | downstream | Exclude field chemicals, water and crop emissions; do not attribute reduced pesticide use, yield or drift benefits to manufacturing. Record only actual factory test exchanges. |  |
| boundary_emissions | elementary_outputs | Record actual species and receiving medium after controls. Wastewater exported to treatment is a waste exchange; treated direct discharges need measured substance rows with the correct receiving-water subcompartment. No emissions are presumed solely from a process label. |  |

## 6. Process Inventory Structure

### Process Map

| process_id | process_name | inclusion | inclusion_condition | role | quantitative_reference |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| molding | Tank and hopper molding | conditional | Only polymer tank/hopper molding performed at this site; purchased finished vessels replace this operation. | foreground_production | per 1 kg reference flow |
| fabrication | Cutting, forming and machining | conditional | Only operations performed within the declared foreground boundary; otherwise record the purchased finished part. | foreground_production | per 1 kg reference flow |
| welding | Sprayer chassis and boom welding | conditional | Only when sprayer chassis or boom weldments are produced on site; other joining methods require distinct wire/gas cards. | foreground_production | per 1 kg reference flow |
| coating | Surface preparation and coating | conditional | Only coating performed on site; distinguish powder, liquid and heating routes. | foreground_production | per 1 kg reference flow |
| assembly | Configured machine assembly and filling | required | All products; retain configuration-specific purchased part coverage. | foreground_production | per 1 kg reference flow |
| acceptance | Factory acceptance and rework | required | All products; actual test methods determine conditional exchanges. | foreground_production | per 1 kg reference flow |
| packing | Dispatch protection and packaging | conditional | Only protective packaging actually applied before the factory gate. | foreground_production | per 1 kg reference flow |

Reconcile supplied tank/hopper, cap/strainer, pump, hose, valve/manifold, nozzle inserts, boom, fan/air path, feeder, PTO/engine/motor, support straps or wheels, guards and controls to the configured BOM. Purchased filled components must not duplicate fills; bought-in tanks replace on-site resin/molding. Add each missing actual part, chemical and waste separately. Factory testing uses the actual approved medium; pesticide or powder surrogates, when used, require specific composition-based rows and disposal evidence rather than assumed crop inputs.

These are subactivities of one manufacturing module. Trace internal fabricated parts through work orders without recording the same internal transfer as another external purchased input. The cards define concrete starting exchanges; supplement missing BOM parts, each actual chemical, fuel, packaging component, waste and emission as its own atomic row. Conditional absence needs route evidence; an unresolved identity or unmeasured amount is not zero.

## 7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

| rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| allocation_direct | manufacturing | Use directly metered or work-order-issued exchanges first. Under cp_allocation, partition remaining shared utility by measured causal driver: machining/welding machine operating time with measured power; molding heater time/load with measured batch demand; coating loaded area with measured batch consumption; assembly/test station time with measured station demand. Document driver coverage and reconcile total allocated plus excluded demand to the original meter. |  |
| allocation_variants | product_mix | Do not allocate all production by machine count when variants have different energy demand or configurations. A fallback mass or economic basis needs documented foreground justification, sensitivity and review; it is not a default imposed by this PCR. |  |
| allocation_scrap | steel_offcuts | Keep virgin/material inputs and separately measured scrap outputs without an automatic avoided-steel credit. Report scrap price and destination when relevant; any co-product classification or recycling credit requires a separately declared reviewed model to prevent double credit. Recovered powder recirculated internally is not a saleable co-product. |  |

| rule_id | Applies to | Formula or rule | Inputs | Output | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| normalize_mass | carbon_plate; hollow_section; cutting_fluid; fabrication_power; steel_offcuts; selfshielded_wire; welding_power; welding_pm_air; powder_paint; wash_water; coating_power; curing_gas; powder_waste; pretreatment_wastewater; curing_co2; hydraulic_hose; hydraulic_fluid; assembly_power; test_power; test_diesel; test_co2; test_no2; pe_film; corrugated_board; dilution_water; spent_cutting_fluid; purchased_frame; spray_tank; liquid_pump; spray_nozzle; liquid_filter; spray_hose; pressure_valve; powder_hopper; powder_meter; blower; wiring_harness; controller; pto_shaft; electric_motor; petrol_engine; tyre; test_water; test_wastewater; pe_resin; molding_power; pe_trim; test_petrol; two_stroke_oil | q_ref = q_item / M; q_item = exchange amount per one accepted finished machine; q_ref = exchange amount per 1 kg reference flow. | q_item; M; cp_mass | q_ref |  |

Before applying normalize_mass, retain one declared configuration and matched period. Derive each q_item from its protocol: net stock/part issues minus valid returns, attributable meter use or measured waste/emission divided by accepted machine count for that same configuration. Include rejects and rework in manufacturing burdens carried by accepted output; never divide by all starts. Mass-weight datasets with different measured M values only after keeping configuration-specific records. Unit conversion and allocation are performed on raw records and retained as separate calculation evidence; no universal consumption range, density or emissions factor is supplied.

### Data Quality Requirements

| requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| quality_identity | all_flows | Match actual part/material grade, supplied state, concentration, geography, reference property and units. A UUID is identity only, not amount evidence or a provider dataset. Resolve blanks before treating an exchange as fully linked. | supplier sheet; flow/property/unit records; identity review |
| quality_completeness | complete_machine | Reconcile all configured BOM components, fluids and detachable items to M; inventory actual utilities, chemicals, each waste and emission. Measure missing parts rather than infer them as the residual of M. Report coverage and any unlinked provider. | BOM revision; weigh sheets; material balances; missing-data register |
| quality_period | production_records | Use one declared factory and complete representative period; record model changes, seasonality, idle demand, outsourcing and rework; quantify primary coverage and uncertainty. Historic product cases cannot substitute for current production records. | work orders; acceptance ledger; meter calibration; source limits |
| quality_test | acceptance | Use actual released acceptance criteria for tank/line leak tightness, pump/nozzle flow, pressure regulation, powder metering, air path, hydraulics and controls as installed; no arbitrary field performance or durability threshold. | signed test plan and serial/configuration-linked test results |

## 9. Validation Rules

| rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| validation_reference | finished_machine | Require 1 kg reference output, measured M from cp_mass, complete configuration, declared empty tank/hopper and supply, packaging exclusion and identical retained fluid state. Missing acceptance/mass evidence prevents a complete dataset claim. |  |
| validation_normalization | inventory | Every applicable non-reference row uses normalize_mass and a declared protocol; check q_item and M share configuration/period, correct division direction and preserved energy/volume/item numerator units. |  |
| validation_route | processes | Match make-or-buy, welding method and coating route to work orders. No double counting of steel and finished fabricated parts, purchased assemblies and their included parts, internal reclaim or engine count and mass. | hardi-factory |
| validation_species | elementary_flows | Check fossil/biogenic carbon, NO2 versus NO/NOx/N2O, particle size, outdoor air subcompartment and control boundary. Unknown species or media remain gaps; wastewater treatment transfer is not a freshwater emission. |  |
| validation_coverage | dataset | Disclose measured, calculated, estimated, excluded, not-applicable and missing quantities distinctly; reconcile accepted outputs, scrap, stock and allocation closure. A method check or valid projection does not approve scientific methodology or establish cradle-to-gate completeness. |  |

## 10. Published Dataset Profile

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| dataset_role | foreground_manufacturing_module |
| downstream_use | secondary_dataset; background_dataset |
| allowed_use | A documented manufacturing module for the exact configured machine and period; upstream-connected assessment only after supplier/transport/treatment coverage is established. |
| excluded_use | Farm liquid/powder application services, crop yield comparison, lifespan-normalized claims, generic equivalence between application configurations, and unsupported complete cradle-to-gate claims. |
| required_metadata | PCR id; model/configuration/BOM and serial scope; measured M and fluid state; acceptance standard; site/period; make-or-buy and process route; reference basis; providers and transport; packaging; allocation; data sources; version. |
| required_quality_disclosure | Measured coverage, missing identities/providers and quantities, route exclusions, source age/limits, conversion conditions, allocation evidence, emissions monitoring gaps, uncertainty and independent review status. |
| update_trigger | BOM or configuration change; revised acceptance test; changed supplier/process/coating or energy supply; new representative production period; resolved identity or evidence gap. |
