# Single-layer rigid PVC angle profile manufacture

## 1. Scope and Applicability

This bounded method manufactures single-layer, non-cellular, unreinforced unplasticised PVC equal-leg L-angle profiles with solid walls, by single-screw melt extrusion of purchased complete pellets/cubes, water sizing/cooling, haul-off, cut-to-length and first quality release. Profiles are uncoated and unprinted; there is no flexible lip, reinforcement, enclosed pipe bore or assembled frame. The actual drawing, compound grade, colour, acceptance criteria and supply condition are mandatory. A solid wall does not mean a solid rectangular rod. [geon-rigid-profile-guide; tp-rigid-pvc-equal-angles]

GEON supplies process evidence; TP Extrusions independently establishes real rigid-PVC equal-angle supply. Dachang shows a separate industrial endpoint and an onsite powder-compounding alternative; N.J. Precision demonstrates a different rigid/flexible coextrusion. This technical synthesis does not assert a common contemporary SKU, factory, order or formulation. Do not transfer source temperatures, rates, regrind percentages, dimensions, densities, flammability ratings or service lives as defaults. The GEON original contains both 2019 and 2021 copyright statements and warns that laboratory/typical results do not establish full-scale product suitability. [geon-rigid-profile-guide; tp-rigid-pvc-equal-angles; dachang-rigid-pvc; njpt-pvc-coextrusion]

The CPC original places profile shapes under 36310 beside plastic pipe and sheet classes; it does not provide a manufacturing recipe. Builders’ ware n.e.c. and articles n.e.c. are residual categories, not permission to absorb specified semifinished profile shapes. This method covers a narrow profile subset, not all monofilaments/rods or all CPC 36310. [un-cpc3-2025]

| What | Supply a specified rigid equal-angle semifinished profile for later conversion/assembly |
| How much | 1 kg net newly first-quality-released angle |
| How well | Actual approved drawing and whole-compound grade with declared dimensions, condition and quality tests; no universal performance guarantee |

One kg is not equivalent installed length or lifetime.

## 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 | Q is unique newly first-quality-released net angle kg for one matched grade/drawing/state cohort, weighed with calibrated tare subtraction at the declared conditioning/moisture state. Failed runs, retests, delivery and returned articles do not create Q. Closing FG containing this release already includes its Q. |
| linear_mass | length or item records | Mass and length | kg; m; item | Measure same-lot conditioned net mass m_lot and length L_lot independently; length l becomes l*m_lot/L_lot kg. Item counts require the actual matched article net mass, never a guessed kg/item or nominal profile density. Keep raw unconverted records. |
| energy_basis | make_electricity; fg_electricity | Net calorific value `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` | MJ | Use the native Units of energy 93a60a57-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66 reference MJ; convert metered kWh to MJ by 3.6 before attribution and normalize_once. Already integrated energy is not multiplied by time. Rated machine power alone is not consumption. |
| state_conversion | all inventory rows | Mass and actual physical state | kg; m3; h | Integrate only true rates. Integrated liquid/gas volume is already an amount. Density must be independently evidenced for the particular substance and temperature/pressure/composition; do not use water density for formulation, effluent or gas and do not derive density from a native secondary property. Keep actual/standard gas and wet/dry bases distinct. |

## 5. System Boundary

### Boundary Abstraction

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| declared_starting_condition | Delivered complete rigid PVC pellets/cubes and separately identified utilities/consumables; inherited WIP and regrind are carried with their original burdens |
| starting_condition_role | Foreground receiving gate; upstream compound manufacture retained in matched providers |
| product_classification_scope | Unassembled semifinished equal-angle profile subset; classification context is independent of native flow CPC text |
| recursive_input_rule | External finished-profile inputs require separate supplier identity, upstream burdens and omitted-stage disclosure; they cannot stand in for pellets. Internal regrind/release transfers retain lot burden vectors and cancel on consolidation. |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Match complete formulation and supply form, real electricity voltage/geography, water treatment/supply and each packaging provider; include inbound transport in an explicit linked module. Generic UUIDs prove neither supplier compatibility nor cradle-to-gate completeness. |
| disclosure | Manufacturing through first release plus an explicitly dated observed FG service ledger. Disclose open service intervals, capital treatment, upstream/downstream boundaries and actual external cooling/return contracts. Use, installation and end-of-life are separate. |

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| boundary_route | profile_make | Include complete receipt/preparation, actual drying if required by the compound, melt heating/shearing/filtration, forming, actual sizing/cooling, pulling/cutting, inspection and first release. Include trials, zero-output/failed lots, starts/stops, idle auxiliaries, cleanup, test samples, regrinding and real rework. Single-screw pellets/cubes are the selected branch; dry-blend and twin-screw alternatives are not silently combined. | geon-rigid-profile-guide |
| boundary_compound | pvc_compound | Purchase each whole formulation once, excluding detachable supply packaging from net compound kg. Retained additives/assay water are composition subledgers. Actual extra masterbatch, lubricant, purge compound, cleaning chemical, fuel, refrigerant or water-treatment reagent needs a distinct named supply/outlet card and mass/energy record before dataset use; do not hide it under zero or other. | geon-rigid-profile-guide; dachang-rigid-pvc |
| boundary_services | fg_service | Keep packing, storage, handling and dispatch with a separate lot ledger, including old FG and physical returns with historical burden vectors. Transfer Q internally once; do not add closing FG as a second production output. Later shipment/retest cannot create new production. Unobserved future services are an explicit completeness gap, not fabricated zero. | dachang-rigid-pvc; ilcd-attributional-allocation |
| boundary_cooling | cooling_makeup; cooling_purge; evaporation | Maintain water-system opening/closing stock, makeup, internal circulation, effluent, entrained droplets, product moisture and evaporation independently. Melting/cooling is not evidence of reaction water. If heat/water is supplied externally, add actual incoming and Product return streams with measured mass, temperatures/enthalpy and supplier energy convention; do not infer a steam/boiler circuit. | geon-rigid-profile-guide |
| boundary_identity | released_angle | Use only a single declared angle article within the native broad extrusion family; carry its full restricted description and actual product qualifiers. The native CPC 36390 defect is not rewritten or used for mapping acceptance. Exclude hard/soft coextrusion, powder compounding and assembled/machined articles from this selected route. | un-cpc3-2025; geon-rigid-profile-guide; njpt-pvc-coextrusion; tp-rigid-pvc-equal-angles |

## 6. Process Inventory Structure

### Process Map

| process_id | process_name | inclusion | inclusion_condition | role | quantitative_reference |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| profile_make | Complete-compound angle manufacture and first release | required | Selected single-screw pellet/cube route, all real conditional preparation, wastes and emissions | foreground manufacture with WIP/regrind carry | per 1 kg reference flow |
| fg_service | Observed FG storage, packing, handling and dispatch | required | Keep actual service history by original release lot; disclose unobserved tails | separate service and FG conservation ledger | per 1 kg reference flow |

All card amounts refer to normalize_once, never a second division. A_i is the raw converted and attributed numerator in that row's physical unit, Q the original unique first-release kg. Protocols collect undivided amounts. The manufacturing and FG ledgers expose internal transfers for audit; cancel internal Q/regrind when combining physical gates. Closing FG is a stock state, not additional output or new production.

The native CPC 36390 is inconsistent with its broader physical text; that classification defect is disclosed and supplies no CPC 36310 mapping. CAS, polymer recipe, grade, dimensions, colour, geography, supplier and performance are unspecified. The actual lot specification establishes these qualifiers; this generic UUID establishes no ready-made background provider. Conditional matching returned article: retain original shipment/release ID, returned mass and its historic burden reversal; count only real new rework and service. Reinspection, re-delivery and return never create another first release. Native support chain: Units of mass 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66, reference kg.

###### Finished-goods service electricity (`fg_electricity`)

Native CN low-voltage <1 kV AC consumption mix delivered to user, grid-average supply; not a transmission service or power-plant generation mix. Use only where the actual metered delivery interface matches; otherwise resolve the actual voltage/geography/provider independently. Native reference is Net calorific value/MJ. This card covers only observed finished-goods storage, electric handling, packing and loading, including their real idle/cleanup loads. Manufacturing heaters/drives remain in make_electricity; assign each service burden by original release lot and carry old-lot histories separately.

###### Paperboard shipping carton (`shipping_carton`)

Conditional single one-way carton actually used, with measured whole-article mass and actual board/adhesive composition. Manufacturer carton supply does not establish corrugation, density or a packaging UUID. Keep its own empty/attached-stock and gross-shipment ledger; reusable boxes or wood packing require separate actual articles and return ledgers. Tiangong UUID is unresolved; retain this concrete single exchange and resolve against actual supplier/material/destination evidence before dataset use.

###### LDPE protective wrap (`ldpe_wrap`)

Conditional verified PE-LD film only. Native Product/Mass has no CAS, fixed route, thickness, grade, geography, synonym/comment or supplier; it establishes material/form, not stretch performance or the actual packaging specification. Keep intact attached film, application trim and shipping film distinct. No LDPE resin-pellet identity or mixed multilayer film is substituted.

###### Paper product label (`paper_label`)

Conditional one whole purchased paper label with actual ink/adhesive composition included once. Measure mass separately from product and carton. A removable liner, band or separate adhesive actually used requires its own atomic card, not an unspecified packaging remainder. Native Product is a printed paper label for sticker use, production mix at plant GLO; synonyms include paper sticker/label stock, and general comment is empty. CAS, grade, ink/adhesive recipe, dimensions and supplier are unspecified. The broad paper/printed-sheet classification does not specify this finished label configuration.

###### Gross physical angle shipment (`gross_shipped_angle`)

The native Product record is a broad thermoplastic extrusion family at plant: its basename enumerates sheet/tube/profile alternatives, and its synonyms/comment explicitly include extruded profiles. This row is exclusively one declared solid single-layer rigid PVC L-angle, never a mixed sheet/tube/profile basket.

## 7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| allocation_context | all inventory rows | This method is attributional, limited to situations in which allocation is required under the study goal/context. Establish that context first; no discretionary swap between allocation and substitution. Separately metered dedicated operations and actual/virtual subdivision take precedence, including exclusive materials, QA, rejects and specific service histories. | ilcd-attributional-allocation |
| allocation_causality | all inventory rows | For any remaining joint inventory, determine and document physical causality for each individual exchange/co-function. Use measured load/operation evidence; the same mass share is not automatically correct for heaters, cooling, material embodiment, occupied storage and serial handling. Account for baseline idle and failed campaigns rather than allocating only successful run time. | ilcd-attributional-allocation |
| allocation_residual | genuine remaining multifunctional process | Only a genuinely unassignable residual may use contemporaneous market values for real co-functions at the same actual joint-process exit and physical/quality state. Reconstruct that gate price if only later conditioned/packed/delivered prices exist, with transparent adjustments and sensitivity. Evidence must establish real co-product status and the true joint process; waste sale or internal regrind alone establishes neither a co-product nor avoided production. No fixed ratio, automatic credit or negative waste burden. For each exchange, all exclusive/causal/residual and carried assignments must sum to its undivided original amount. Apply consistent criteria to comparable co-functions/processes and document justified differences. | ilcd-attributional-allocation |
| asset_manufacture_conservation | existing capital/reusable manufacture attribution | Within the applicable allocation decision context, original manufacture burden attributed across uses of actual capital equipment or reusable articles already included in foreground production, packaging or observed services uses one persistent same-asset ledger across all crops, products, cohorts, manufacturing/postrelease services, owners and observation periods. D is its supported whole installed service: all realized historical service plus supported remaining service in the same units as actual beneficiary use u; D must be finite and positive. Period capacity, remaining-only capacity, the physical asset/article mass alone, or current-period product Q alone is not D; supported whole-service throughput in mass units may be used when it demonstrates the causal service and matches u. This does not amortize the manufactured reference product over downstream life or change its declared reference gate/Q. The fractions u/D and all previously assigned manufacture shares together must never exceed 1. Changes of window, custody, provider or repair never restart the original manufacture balance. Replacements have distinct identities and only their real new manufacture vectors; actual repair and treatment increments remain separately accounted. Revised capacity evidence requires transparent reconciliation of prior shares and sensitivity, not a fresh ledger. Keep full physical mass and stock movements independent of burden shares. Unknown D, prior shares or beneficiary coverage requires review and no final manufacture-attributed amount; no assumed lifetime, utilization, zero or arbitrary division is permitted. For each existing collection protocol that attributes manufacture of included production, packaging or observed-service assets across uses in this route (excluding amortization of the manufactured reference product itself), additionally retain a durable asset identity, its measured full physical mass and acquisition/installation/retirement stock history, original manufacture burden vector, all historical and current beneficiaries, matched-unit service readings, the evidenced whole installed-service denominator D, supported remaining-service basis and uncertainty, prior assigned shares and remaining original manufacture balance. Carry the ledger across reporting windows and custody/provider changes. Collect actual repair, replacement, recovery and treatment separately; these records do not normalize physical movements or create an additional asset purchase. These are added fields and conservation obligations for the existing applicable protocols, not a new assumed capital inventory. |  |

## 8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

### Data Collection Protocols

For each existing collection protocol that attributes manufacture of included production, packaging or observed-service assets across uses in this route (excluding amortization of the manufactured reference product itself), additionally retain a durable asset identity, its measured full physical mass and acquisition/installation/retirement stock history, original manufacture burden vector, all historical and current beneficiaries, matched-unit service readings, the evidenced whole installed-service denominator D, supported remaining-service basis and uncertainty, prior assigned shares and remaining original manufacture balance. Carry the ledger across reporting windows and custody/provider changes. Collect actual repair, replacement, recovery and treatment separately; these records do not normalize physical movements or create an additional asset purchase. These are added fields and conservation obligations for the existing applicable protocols, not a new assumed capital inventory.

The aggregation_rule cells declare the final reporting basis, not a request to divide raw measurements during collection. Each collection_method retains undivided numerators and the same sole section-8 operation.

### Calculation Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Formula or rule | Inputs | Output | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| raw_convert | all inventory rows | Convert recorded mass/length/energy and independently evidenced physical state before attribution; integrate only true rates; integrated amounts retain one time integration. Retain original units and exact conversion evidence. | cp_material; cp_energy; cp_energy_fg; cp_water; cp_species; cp_release | converted_raw_vector |  |
| attribute_vector | all inventory rows | A_i is the undivided row-native numerator assigned to the same original first-release cohort: inherited opening vectors plus converted current activity, less independently established closing WIP/regrind carry and genuine other-cofunction assignments, with section 7 allocation and all real failure/rework burdens retained. FG service remains attributed to its original release lot. No single residual fits two unknown outlets or burdens. | converted_raw_vector; cp_stock; cp_fg; cp_pack; cp_pack_fg | A_i | ilcd-attributional-allocation |
| first_release_quantity | released_angle | Q = sum of unique positive first-release conditioned net angle kg; exclude failed/repeated/returned/re-delivered mass from new production. A voided release is reconciled by its original ID and burden history, never silently replaced by a new denominator. | cp_release; cp_stock | Q |  |
| normalize_once | all inventory rows | x_i = A_i / Q for Q > 0; A_i retains this row's physical numerator unit and Q is same-cohort first-release kg. Apply once only at final reporting; cards and protocol aggregation refer to this same operation. released_angle represents 1 kg. If Q = 0 retain all raw burdens/stocks and report no unit result; do not divide, discard failed burden or borrow another cohort denominator. | A_i; Q; cp_release | x_i |  |
| gate_conservation | all inventory rows | Independently close manufacturing mass/constituent balances with opening/closing WIP/regrind and physical Q. Close FG using cp_fg. Consolidate by cancelling paired internal Q and regrind: external opening stocks plus real external material/water/packaging receipts and returns equal closing stocks plus gross external article/packaging shipments, external returns, wastes and measured emissions. Energy is not added to physical mass. Q remains the release normalization event, not an extra consolidated physical outlet. Check C/Cl and relevant additive elements independently of species and physical water/phase evidence. | cp_material; cp_water; cp_species; cp_stock; cp_fg; cp_pack; cp_pack_fg; cp_release | gate_balance_residuals |  |
| asset_manufacture_share | existing capital/reusable manufacture attribution | For each included original asset manufacture vector B, f_current = u_current / D only after the persistent ledger verifies the supported whole installed-service denominator, all beneficiaries and prior assigned shares. Attribute f_current * B once to the actual beneficiary before the existing single reference normalization. Check prior_shares + all current/new beneficiary shares <= 1; carry the remaining original balance. Capacity revisions reconcile the historical ledger. Full physical asset/packaging mass and actual gross stocks/returns never receive f_current. Unknown D or history leaves the final attributed result unavailable, without suppressing actual repair/replacement/service burdens. | asset_id; original_B; u_current; D; historical_beneficiaries; prior_shares; capacity_evidence | conserved attributed manufacture vector |  |

### Data Quality Requirements

| requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| dq_identity | all rows and reference | Retain complete composition/form/route/state and native UUID restrictions in consumable descriptions and metadata. Confirm actual CN low-voltage delivery and match all providers; blank auxiliary UUIDs require resolution, never invented collection bindings. | supplier specifications and full native identity/support-chain evidence |
| dq_complete | whole cohort | No routine deletion of no-output/failed/idle/cleanup/rework activities; maintain lot stock and every inherited exchange vector. Disclose each omitted/unmeasured operation/species and open FG service window. Missing measurements are data gaps, not zero. | event logs and stock/vector closure |
| dq_measurement | raw records and calculation | Retain calibration, test specification, sampling representativeness, units, method uncertainty, detection limits and complete period/site coverage. Quantities are site-specific future records, not measurements fabricated by this method. No source range is a universal QA acceptance limit. | raw data, calibration and uncertainty budget |
| dq_sources | source-dependent methods | Use original context and alternative routes; industrial processing evidence does not establish allocation. No shared SKU, recipe or plant is asserted across sources. Independent science and translation review remain separate from mechanical checks. | primary originals and ILCD context with explicit transfer limits |

| validate_reference | released_angle | Require one matched article/grade/drawing/state, all declared qualifiers, unique cp_release IDs and the explicit reference_flow_link. Confirm 1 kg net conditioned product excluding all packaging, and no second Q from stock, retest, return or dispatch. | tp-rigid-pvc-equal-angles; geon-rigid-profile-guide |
| validate_inventory | all inventory rows | Every actual exchange is a separate physical/chemical card with direction/type, native property/unit, description, protocol and sources. Confirm original identity/form/route/CAS/media/property constraints, not just name or classification. Missing or conflicting auxiliary identity stays explicit and blocks the affected dataset use until resolved. |  |
| validate_conservation | all inventory rows | Execute raw_convert, attribute_vector, first_release_quantity, normalize_once and gate_conservation. Check independent mass, C/Cl/other relevant element, actual water/species, packaging and inherited-vector balances with measurement uncertainty. Unknowns remain unresolved; no tuned residual, assumed species or double normalization can establish closure. |  |
| validate_allocation | all shared activities | Check dedicated/virtual subdivision before exchange-specific determining physical causality and only then justified same-gate contemporaneous residual market value. Retain all shares/boundaries and sensitivity; no automatic scrap credit or same allocation key for every exchange. | ilcd-attributional-allocation |
| validate_readiness | completed dataset | Require actual supply/drawing/acceptance and period-specific observations before calling a dataset complete. Q = 0 has no unit result. An unobserved FG service tail cannot support a complete dispatch-boundary claim. Method checks do not constitute scientific/translation approval, mapping acceptance or publication. | geon-rigid-profile-guide |
| validate_asset_manufacture_conservation | existing capital/reusable manufacture attribution | For every included capital/reusable manufacture attribution verify same-asset continuity, whole installed service in matched units, all historical/current beneficiaries, prior assigned manufacture shares and cumulative share <= 1. Reject a reset by period, cohort, provider, owner or repair. Check distinct real replacement and incremental repair/treatment vectors separately and preserve gross physical mass. A missing denominator, unexplained previous allocation or incomplete beneficiary ledger requires explicit review and an unavailable final attributed amount; structural inspection cannot claim empirical completeness. |  |

## 10. Published Dataset Profile

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| dataset_role | secondary_dataset; background_dataset |
| downstream_use | A specified mass-based profile-manufacturing input for later assembly, installation or separately modelled product systems |
| allowed_use | Only matched rigid PVC equal-angle route/state and declared first-release gate; include actual observed services by original release cohort |
| excluded_use | Whole CPC 36310 coverage; structural/thermal/fire/service-life equivalence; pipe/sheet/yarn or finished-building substitution; automatic recycled-content/avoided-burden credit |
| required_metadata | All section 3 qualifiers, actual providers, complete BOM, state-specific release and stock/vector histories, linked upstream transport and waste treatment, allocation and capital boundary |
| required_quality_disclosure | Period/site coverage, measured versus missing quantities, blank auxiliary identities, generic native family restrictions, uncertainty, allocation sensitivity and observed/open service intervals |
| update_trigger | Grade/form/drawing/route/provider changes, altered cooling or controls, added packaging/chemistry, new release evidence, later service tail and independent review |
