Description is a human-readable description of the article.

Location defines source or destination location of the material, depending if it is an input or an output material.

MaterialIdentifier defines an Identifier to identify the Type of the item (item number).

Identifier defines a unique identifier for the specific component (e.g. the Serial number, Sheet-Id).

X defines the dimension of the material along the X axis of the machine coordinate system. For special shapes the surrounding rectangle is used.

Y defines the dimension of the material along the Y axis of the machine coordinate system. For special shapes the surrounding rectangle is used.

Z defines the dimension of the material along the Z axis of the machine coordinate system. For special shapes the surrounding rectangle is used.

Note: X,Y,Z are modelled separate, because subtype may only use a subset of X;Y,Z.

Weight defines the mass of the item. If possible the engineering unit should be kilograms.

0:HasComponent	Variable	GasFilling	0:Number	0:AnalogUnitType	Optional
0:HasComponent	Variable	MixingRatio	0:Number	0:AnalogUnitType	Optional

Gas_1 uniquely describes the first gas, which is part of the gas filling. The manufacturer and the material designation should be included.

Gas_2 uniquely describes the second gas, which is part of the gas filling. The manufacturer and the material designation should be included.

GasFilling defines the filling level of the gas in percent, for a filling of 100% the values is 100. For this variable are also values of more than 100 allowed, to represent an overpressure in the final product.

MixingRatio describes the ratio of the gas mixture. Here the value 0 means that only the first gas (Gas_1) is contained. If the parameter is 100 only second gas (Gas_2) is in the mixture. With a value of 50 both gases are contained in the ratio 1:1.

The component Variables of the GasMixType have additional Attributes defined in Table 48.
