Fluid power valves and hose fittings have a defined Census scope. An original identity task can require the exact interface reference given in a supplied glossary. Census fluid-power fitting scope

Create fictional fitting cards, an order and a glossary defining two interface families. Give two props similar outer dimensions but different internal markers. Ask which recorded variant matches the order. Include an abbreviated invoice that omits the family and a drawing whose reference face is reversed. The key should identify the missing identity field and the view difference.

Annotate variant, family, reference face, marker, source record and effective revision. Evaluate with a new alias scheme whose glossary is supplied. Score dimensions used as complete interface identity, a missing family guessed and mirrored interpretation independently. The exercise should compare its own records without determining compatibility or pressure capability for an actual system.

Use original geometry and inert props. Customer interfaces, licensed standards, supplier declarations and proprietary production files need appropriate authority and review. Describe the glossary-and-view task and checked key in the licensing brief. Establish buyer requirements before preparing additional commercial records or authorized capture.

Original Fiund exercise

A shared shape does not resolve the interface family

Original paper fitting cards use two invented interface categories. No actual dimensions, pressure or fluid behavior is modeled.

Fictional records supplied to the evaluator
RecordSourceWhat it records
1OrderConnector P6 with interface A.
2GlossaryA and B share exterior shape; stamped suffix X means A, Y means B.
3Sample imageP6 silhouette visible; suffix shows Y.

Question for the model

Can visual shape be used to accept P6 as A?

Show the reference answer and checks

No. The P6 identifier agrees with the order, but the readable Y indicates B under record 2. Because A and B intentionally share a silhouette, the image shape cannot override the explicit suffix. Label the interface mismatch without drawing a fit conclusion.

  • Inferring compatibility from exterior shape
  • Ignoring the suffix after matching the base ID

Fields to preserve

base_part_id
Matches the component family
interface_suffix
Resolves the specific interface
glossary_scope
Records the supplied code meaning

Test another case

Use a suffix blocked by tape and require unresolved family even if the silhouette is sharp.

No real pressure systems, fittings selection, thread design or installation advice.
