Nipple Rule will allow up to 6-feet for different voltage levels to be run together, as acceptable to
CertainTeed, (i.e. 4-20mA DC with 120-volt AC power at a valve actuator).

3.2 COMMUNICATION SYSTEM INTERFACES- all local area network (LAN) raceways shall be
dedicated, unless otherwise indicated or specified.

3.3 ALLEN-BRADLEY PLC SYSTEMS- “blue-hose” shall be Belden #9463 or Allen-Bradley approved
cable.

3.4 JOHNSON/YOKOGAWA DCS SYSTEMS- the communication wiring for connection of Johnson
Yokogawa DCS cabinets shall be by redundant runs of Johnson Yokogawa RL bus cable. AE shall
determine lengths for pre-purchase by CertainTeed.

3.5 XL/NET SYSTEM- communication wiring for connection of the Johnson Yokogawa DCS system to a
plant wide XL net system shall be by Johnson Yokogawa approved cable.

3.6 FIELD DEVICE TO CONTROL SYSTEM INTERFACES

3.6.0 DIGITAL SIGNAL LEVEL STANDARDIZATION- the preferred standard digital input/output
signal for all PLC and DCS systems is 120-volt AC. Dry contacts on field and panel devices
are the preferred interface level to PLC or DCS systems. Interfacing solid state to solid-state
devices often results in latching of these circuits. The AE shall consider using interposing
relays if dry contacts are not available on field devices.

Mixing voltage levels on digital input/output I/O racks shall be avoided where practical.

Page 8
 CertainTeed
Input and output I/O power for PLC and DCS systems shall be provided by a dedicated control
power distribution system for the PLC or DCS system.

3.6.1 ANALOG SIGNAL LEVEL STANDARDIZATION- the preferred standard signal (other than
temperature) shall be 4-20mA DC. Use loop powered devices or 4-wire, 120-volt AC
transmitters. (no 24-volt 4-wire devices shall be allowed)

Ground the shield of a twisted pair cable at the power source end and run shield continuously,
and tape back field end. Shield drain wires shall be covered with plastic tubing where they are
run exposed in panels, junction boxes or cabinets.

Standard temperature signals shall be thermocouple, Types J, K and R depending on the

temperature limits.

Temperature measurement may be done by RTD with the permission of the individual plant
involved. The standard RTD used is three-wire, 100-ohm platinum, however 1000-ohm
platinum could be considered if greater resolution is required.

In general, thermocouple or RTD signals shall be tied directly to the DCS or PLC without an
interposing transmitter.

3.6.2 120-VOLT CONTROL AT MCC STANDARDIZATION- the PLC or DCS I/O control power
source shall provide control power for motor starters. Also, an auxiliary disconnect contact at
the local motor safety switch and at motor starter disconnect switch shall be provided and
wired to trip the source control power.

3.7 INSTRUMENT STANDARDIZATION- Johnson Yokogawa smart transmitters shall be used for field
transmitters unless otherwise specified by CertainTeed.

Electronic transmitters shall have isolated 4-20mA DC output signals whenever possible. Voltage
outputs for electronic transmitters shall be permitted in special cases, but shall be first approved by
CertainTeed.

It is recommended that electronic transmitters be provided with integral mounted output indicators
when possible. Transmitters with indicators should be mounted to allow the indicator to be visible by
the operating personnel.

Transmitters or electronic modules shall be provided with a mounting bracket supplied by the
manufacturer. Mounting arrangements shall conform to the specific installation detail that applies to
the process conditions.

Transmitter wetted materials shall be manufacturer's standard material unless dictated by the process
material of construction requirements.

Transmitter span shall be as small as possible to allow for the best resolution possible with the device.
The normal operating range within the process should be between 40 and 60 percent of the full-scale
range of the transmitter.

Electronic transmitters shall be of the two-wire design only. Four-wire design transmitters shall be
considered acceptable only when necessitated by special hardware requirements. Refer to Section
3.6.1 for details on analog signal level, and shield grounding.

All transmitters shall be provided with a permanent stainless steel tag with the instrument tag number
stamped on it.

Hardware must have electrical classification that is applicable to the area.

Page 9
 CertainTeed
Intrinsically safe hardware will conform to the acceptable practices as determined by the Intrinsic
Safety Acceptance Committee.

3.8 FLOWMETERS- flow meters should be installed with the manufacturer's recommendations for
upstream and downstream straight run of pipe as a minimum.

Some flow meters require special grounding, especially when non-ferrous pipeline materials are being
used. Attention to these requirements should be taken during design of the installation.

3.9 VORTEX METERS- vortex meters should not be considered for applications where intrusive materials
in the pipeline are not acceptable.

Vortex meters have an advantage that there are no moving parts in the flowing stream, therefore they
are not subjected to gumming or hanging up due to corrosion or coatings.

There are no external connections in the meter, therefore these meters are ideal for hazardous,
corrosive, or high temperature applications.

Meters of this type are not normally available in sizes under 1-inch and they have a low flow cutoff on
each meter. Therefore, these meters should not be considered for extremely low flow applications.

On liquid applications, the line pressure must be sufficient to prevent cavitation from occurring within
the meter.

The abrasive nature of the measured fluid should be considered for its effect on the measuring
element. A highly abrasive fluid could cause erosion of the element and a significant change in the
accuracy of the meter.

3.10 MASS METERS- mass flow meters should be considered for applications that require a high degree of
accuracy. In general, mass flow meters are not affected by pressure, temperature, and specific
gravity.

Mass flow meters usually have no moving parts in the flowing stream, therefore they are ideal for
erosive, corrosive, or fluids which tend to gum up internals of normal meters.

Mass flow meter accuracy may be affected by outside vibration, therefore some special requirements
for installation may be required.

3.11 CORIOLIS TYPE MASS METERS- the sensing element of a coriolis type meter consists of one or two
tubes, in any of various shapes. Electromagnetic drivers vibrate the tubes at their natural resonance
frequency. This harmonic vibration imparts an angular movement to the fluid as it passes through the
tubes. Coriolis forces, proportional to the product of fluid density and velocity, generate a pressure
against the tube walls. This results in a secondary movement of the tubes which is superimposed on
the primary drive vibration, and which varies proportionally with mass rate. A sensor scheme is
employed that can detect and measure the magnitude of the secondary oscillation.

Coriolis meters have an average initial cost of about $4000, and yet they can offer an excellent cost of
ownership on certain applications. Their exceptional accuracy and repeatability is one reason for their
cost effectiveness. A base accuracy specification is typically ± 0.2% of rate, over a flow range of
100:1. The true accuracy is the sum of the base accuracy and a zero stability constant. The zero
stability is defined in manufacturers literature for each size flow tube, and is usually given in mass
units. True accuracy generally varies from ± 0.20% of rate at the upper range limit, to ± 2% or rate at
the lower range limit.

Another feature that makes the coriolis type meter cost effective is the amount of data available to the
user. Besides mass flow rate, the meter can output fluid density, fluid temperature, totalized flow, %
solids flow rate, and volumetric flow rate (if desired). The ability to extract so much data from a single

Page 10
 CertainTeed
installation reduces the cost of measurement, can improve process control, and can provide
measurement redundancy for validation purposes.

The high precision of coriolis type meters has allowed many users to develop continuous process
operations for products traditionally manufactured in batches. The biggest problem in converting to
continuous operations is often the ability to accurately control raw material feeds. Coriolis type meters
offer performance that solves this problem for many processes. Steady state operation is a major
advantage of continuous versus batch processing. Under steady state, the process can be fined
tuned, reducing production time, improving product yields, and reducing raw material usage. One
manufacturer used coriolis type meters to develop a continuous process for the production of
peroxyesters. The move to a continuous process also led to large increases in market demands.

Coriolis type meters are often represented as non-intrusive devices. One manufacturer claimed in a
recent article that 95% of its meters create a pressure drop around 5 to 6-PSI, comparable to a turbine
meter. While coriolis type meters do not present an obstruction to flow, they can represent a
considerable restriction to flow. The small bore tubing used in the meter, combined with potentially
high fluid velocities, and the circuitous path of flow through the meter, can create head losses
significantly higher than those associated with traditional flow devices. As an example, one design
publishes a 95-PSI head loss for a 1-inch meter at the upper range mass flow limit, based upon water.

Coriolis type meters, in general, can be used with just about all liquids, Newtonian and non-Newtonian,
and high-density gases. Exercise care when liquids have abrasive solids, or if liquids require heat
tracing to prevent solidification. Users should consult manufacturers if the liquid can have undissolved
gases in excess of 6%, or if slugs of gas or vapor can exist. Older coriolis designs split the inlet flow
stream into two parallel paths through the meter, while newer designs offer a single continuous flow
path. Split tube designs may have problems single continuous flow path. Split tube designs may have
problems on slurries, aside from the potential for clogging due to the reduced flow area. Meter
performance can degrade if the flow splitter unevenly proportions the secondary phase between the
two paths, creating an imbalance in fluid density in the legs. Split tube designs may also be
incompatible with many shear sensitive fluids encountered in the food industries.

There is no Reynolds number limitations associated with coriolis type meters, and they are virtually
insensitive to velocity profile distortion and swirl effects. Insensitivity to installation effects is another
important advantage these meters offer, even for applications where volumetric measurement is
desired.

The coriolis force principle is independent of changes in fluid properties. However, the resonant tube
structure does not permit the possibility of measuring mass rate totally independent of fluid
temperature. Temperature affects the elasticity of the tubes. All manufacturers locate sensors in the
flow tubes to measure process temperature variations. The elasticity effects are then compensated for
electronically. Despite claims to the contrary, third party testing has shown many coriolis designs are
also sensitive to density and/or viscosity shifts. Zero errors on the order of 0.50% have been
generated in tests where the process fluid was changed from water to gasoline without re-zeroing the
meter.

There are now more than thirteen manufacturers offering coriolis type meters. Many of the later
designs have new technology, or have made improvements to existing technology, that promises
increased mechanical reliability, and reduced zero sensitivity.

Mechanical failure of internal tubes/welds due to the combined effects of erosion, corrosion, and stress
has been a major problem encountered with this technology. Several large users are convinced
coriolis designs must be considered "doomed to fail". They require coriolis type meters used on
critical applications be encased in expensive secondary containment vessels to protect the plant from
any spill in case of failure. Manufacturers have made improvements to increase the MTBF of the flow
tubes by using full bore tubing with thicker walls (up to five times thicker than earlier designs), and
reducing fluid velocity through the meter at the upper range limit (from 50 ft/sec in early designs to 20
ft/sec) to minimize erosion and corrosion rates. Straight tube designs also claim enhanced reliability
compared to curved tube designs because of the lack of bends or elbows, points at which failure is

Page 11
 CertainTeed
most likely to occur due to erosion. This may or may not be true, depending on the size of the tubing
used in the straight tube designs, and the rated fluid velocity for the upper range mass flow limit.

Coriolis type meters have also exhibited zero stability problems. The sensor schemes used to detect
coriolis oscillations are also subjected to plant noise and vibration. It can be difficult for these sensors
to work optimally if the meter is not totally isolated from these disturbing influences during installation.
Since noise can be conducted to the meter by the process fluid itself, isolation by mechanical means
may not be effective enough to guaranty performance. Installation instructions can be very complex,
and require strict adherence. Users have complained about the abnormally high degree of interaction
needed with manufacturers to achieve start up. Even when instructions have been followed, a factory
representative might be required on site to "tweak" the installation. One on-line, users have
complained the meters can still exhibit zero sensitivity. Meter output can be affected by tightening the
flange bolts, or by a technician leaving a pipe wrench on the meter housing. One new design employs
patented technology to combat this zero sensitivity. As a result, the meter can be installed easily by
plant or contractor personnel, and requires just two simple supports, located near the inlet/outlet
connections.

3.12 THERMAL DISPERSION MASS METERS- there are generally two types of thermal meters used for
measuring the mass flow of gases and vapors: those that measure the rate of heat loss to a stream
from an immersed heated body, and those that measure the temperature rise of a stream as it passes
through a heated body.

In the former type, a sensor consisting of two RTDs mounted perpendicular to gas flow is employed to
measure mass flow rate. The upstream RTD detects the process temperature. The downstream RTD
is heated to a higher temperature so as to maintain a constant differential between the two. The faster
a gas flows, the more power is required to maintain the differential. The power delivered to the sensor
is a measure of heat loss, and consequently of mass flow. This sensor is sensitive to orientation.
Deviation of the two RTDs from the perpendicular, in pitch or yaw, can create measurement errors.
The temperature difference varies inversely with mass rate. This relationship is a repeatable
logarithmic calibration curve, for a given gas within a given temperature range. Corrections must be
applied when using the instrument on a gas other than that on which it was calibrated, or for very wide
temperature ranges. For large pipes, the sensor may not extend across the entire pipe diameter.
Mass flow so obtained must be corrected for any non-uniformity of the flow profile. Any number of
sensors can be coupled serially along a probe, to extend across the pipe ID. A weighted average of
their readings is then used to compute the total mass flow. This type of meter produces very low head
losses. In addition, the sensor has a low sensitivity to contamination by dirt or solids in the gas
stream. Moderate buildup on the sensor does not substantially affect performance.

The second type of thermal meter raises the temperature of a gas as it passes through a heat
chamber. The meter consists of a bypass and a detector channel. The bypass channel, the larger of
the two, handles most of the flow. It may contain calibrated resistance’s that create pressure drops
designed to force appropriate amounts of fluid through the detector channel. The detector channel of
one design contains three thermistor beads mounted in a line parallel to flow. The center thermistor is
heated by a current source, and the other two placed equal distances upstream and downstream from
it. Voltages developed across the outer two thermistors, due to heat transfer into the fluid, generate
mass flow measurement. Flow of gas in the detector channel must be laminar for the meter to act
predictably. The detector channel typically has a length to diameter ratio of at least 100:1 so gas will
flow in a viscous manner. The meter can become clogged by dirt in the flow stream because of the
small diameter of the detector channel. Some meter designs feature adjustable flow elements to
accommodate a wide range of operating conditions. Most manufacturers use nitrogen or air to specify
the meter flow range. You must apply a correction factor to the full-scale reading when using the
meter on other gases. The closer in density, and specific heat the reference gas is to the process
fluid, the more accurate will be the calibration.

For many years thermal dispersion meters were limited to laboratory and light duty applications.
These devices have improved considerably in the last few years for heavy-duty industrial applications,
with the development of more durable sensing elements, and the addition of microprocessor based
electronics. Thermal dispersion meters generally provide ±1% to ±5% accuracy over ranges in flow as

Page 12
 CertainTeed
high as 100:1. Direct mass measurement, low flow sensitivity, and improved reliability combine to
yield an excellent cost of ownership on many applications. Full size meters are generally limited in
size to 3 inches and smaller. Insertion type devices are available for larger line sizes.

3.13 ANNUBAR/DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE- pitot tubes measure flow by sensing the velocity head
developed in the flowing stream, without changing the stream velocity as do the devices described in
the previous paragraphs. One variety, called the pitot-static tube, consists of tubular structures, one
inserted in the flowing stream with its axis parallel to the direction of flow. Its opening is pointed
upstream to sense static head plus velocity head. The other tube has an opening that is aligned at
right angles to the flowing stream so that it senses the stream's static pressure only. The pitot-static
tube usually is a single point device capable only of measuring the velocity head at the point where it
is installed. Because of velocity variations across the pipe, this device can produce accurate flow data
only be conducting a series of measurements at different radii.

A special form of pitot tube provides multiple upstream openings whose locations are chosen to
average the flowing velocity across a diameter of the pipe, and uses a single opening pointed
downstream in place of a static opening. These modifications provide a higher degree of accuracy
without requiring a traversing operation. One that is commercially available from Dietrich Standard
Corporation is called the "Annubar" flow element. This device is particularly suitable for flow
measurement in large pipes because its cost of purchase and installation is less than other forms of
flow primary elements. It has the added advantages of not imposing a pressure loss and requires only
limited upstream and downstream straight pipe runs. Accuracy comparable to uncalibrated versions of
other flow primary elements is claimed for the device.

Pitot tubes should be considered for gas flow in larger size piping systems. They are considerably
more economical than orifice plates in lines larger than 8 inch.

Pitot tube differential pressures are considerably smaller than normal orifice installations. Therefore
care must be taken in selection of a transmitter to insure the greatest accuracy possible.

Pitot tubes must be sized to insure the tip of the probe is as near to the center of the pipe as possible
and that the probe is aligned exactly in the upstream to insure proper measurement.

The pitot tube is not sensitive as to the angle in the pipe that is installed.

Pitot tubes should not be considered for liquid service applications.

3.14 MAG METERS- conductivity of the fluid is critical for the application of a magnetic flow meter in any
service. If the conductivity is not known or is very low, such as in DI water, alternative methods of
measurement are recommended.

Conductivity can change with process conditions, such as change in fluid composition or temperature.
This can be especially important in low temperature applications, because conductivity decreases in
some fluids significantly as temperature decreases. This should be considered when applying this
form of meter.

Magnetic flow meters are not affected by changes in viscosity, Reynolds number, or solids content.
They are good candidates for slurry and viscous liquid applications.

Magnetic flow meters can be used as a bi-directional flow meter if the manufacturer can provide the
necessary electronics within his system.

Magnetic flow meters must always be installed with the electrodes in the horizontal plane with a full
pipe of the measured fluid. If the pipe is not always full, the meter will either not function or give
erroneous readings.

Magnetic flow meters cannot be used with fluids with entrained gas. The meter cannot distinguish the
liquid and the gas and therefore an error will be built into the system.

Page 13
 CertainTeed
The meter material should be such as to prevent the coating over of the electrodes that will cause
errors to build into the system.

Magnetic flow meters are excellent for corrosive or slurry type applications because they are non-
intrusive in the pipeline and are usually made with a Teflon type liner.

Magnetic flow meters need an electrical power source and therefore they may not be acceptable in
some areas with hazardous environments.

DC pulsed type excitation magnetic flow meter systems are recommended for use where better
accuracy is required. AC type meters are less accurate and require more periodic zero and span
checking and calibration.

3.15 RTDs- RTDs are to be installed in appropriate thermowells as described in CertainTeed standard
specifications, Bill of Materials, and installation drawings.

Typical RTD types are 3-wire and 4-wire. The 3-wire version is most commonly used while the 4-wire
version is used in applications that require additional accuracy.

When an RTD assembly is installed in a hazardous area, installation of approved safety barriers is
required for intrinsically safe operation to meet the rating of the area.

RTDs shall be 100-ohm platinum units, whenever possible. The alpha coefficient of the RTDs shall be
0.00385. (DIN 78)

Some CertainTeed plants avoid using RTD elements. The individual plant shall be consulted prior to
using an RTD.

3.16 THERMOCOUPLES- thermocouples are to be installed in appropriate thermowells as described in

CertainTeed standards, specifications, Bill of Materials, and installation drawings.

Typical thermocouple types are J, K, or R, depending upon temperature range to be measured.

CertainTeed specifies thermocouples.

The following are range values for these thermocouples:

Type J- 0 to +1400 F (-18 to +760 C)

Type K- 0 to +2300 F (-18 to +1260 C)
Type R- 0 to +3100 F (-18 to +1705 C)

When any powered thermocouple assembly or transmitter is installed in a hazardous area, installation
of approved safety barriers is required for intrinsically safe applications to meet the rating of the area.

Aluminum heads are not to be used.

Thermocouples must be installed with proper extension wire and temperature compensation terminal
blocks to prevent error due to ambient temperature effects. Thermocouple extension wire is
necessary between the thermocouple terminals and the measuring device, such as a transducer,
indicator or controller.

When a thermocouple assembly is installed in a hazardous area, installation of approved safety

barriers is required for intrinsically safe operation to meet the rating of the area.

3.17 CONTROL VALVES/ACTUATORS- motor operated drives such as Honeywell Drive, Beck Drives or
equivalent shall replace L&N Drives. The drives shall have equivalent features to the L&N drives with

 CertainTeed
4.12.1 EXTERNAL WIRING DIAGRAMS- the Contractor shall include point to point external wiring
diagrams to facilitate the installation and checkout of the systems in the design. These
diagrams shall be in the form of “loop sheets” and are included in the sample set of drawings.
In general the Panel device terminals on these diagrams are located on either the right or left
side of the drawing with the field devices shown in the middle. All panels or devices on the
right and left sides have a label banner located above them with terminal and device data
shown in the box below. It is not the intent of these loop sheets to convey internal device
connections (this should be shown on the internal wiring diagrams) only external connections.
These drawings shall have circuit number designations for each set of cables interconnecting
panels or devices as indicated on the sample set of drawings. The circuit destination shall be
as defined in the Circuit schedule section. Note, the detail of the loop sheet wiring is drawn in
model space but displayed in the paper space through ACAD Mviews on the CertainTeed
drawing template. Scale is not a major issue only to insure that all detail such as text and
linework can be identified when plotting drawing on 11”x17” paper. Note, the external loop
sheets shall contain a sheet number in the third row of the Drawing Title block. This sheet
number shall be a series of consecutive drawings within the shop order. The sheet number will
be limited to three characters. The designer shall organize the drawing set to allow for
insertion of new loop sheets, but at a minimum 250 sheets should be allowed for each shop
order. This sheet number will be used to determine circuit numbers to be shown on the loop
sheet. This format is described in the Circuit Schedule section.

4.12.2 SCHEMATICS- each panel that is to be designed shall have a set of drawings that define in
schematic form how the panel is connected. In general these drawings shall be used in the
initial stages of the project for review and should be detailed and approved to about a 75%
level prior to any panel layout. In general there shall be three types of schematics, each of
which shall be allocated to a sequence of 100 drawing numbers within each shop area. One
shall contain all panel e-stop, the control power bus development and protection systems
(from the 480 VAC systems down to the utilization level) and connection of all “hardwired”
controlled or utilization devices (Hard wired Schematics). The second shall contain all the
“PLC” controlled devices and in general show the PLC module(s) and all devices connected to
them (PLC I/O Schematics). The third shall be a modified “three line MCC Schematic” for the
480 VAC starters and drives in the system Power panels (MCC Schematics). These shall be
similar to the MCC schematics included in the sample set of drawings except all devices are
within a Panel and not an MCC. All field and panel terminals shall be located on the
schematics and shall utilize a simple consecutive rung number pattern 10 through n*10. The 9
number between each rung shall be left to allow for rungs to be added without spoiling rung
references. As stated above, each set of schematics shall have 100 consecutive drawing
numbers attached to it within each shop order. The Third line of the drawing title for each of
these types of drawings shall consist of a sheet number (1-100). This sheet number shall be
used to define system wire numbers and shall aid in the navigation from field conditions back
to the drawing.

Wire numbers shall be generated on the three types of schematic diagrams. In all cases,
numbers shall be limited to 10 characters (physical limitations of current or older wire labeling
technology) In general the following numbering rules shall be applied to all three types of
schematics as follows:

a) Hardwired Definition Schematics

Each wire number shall begin with a 2-digit number indicating the sheet number it
originates on. This shall be followed by the line number within the schematic set it
originates on. A letter shall be added to the end of each wire number for each node as
read left to right. For example, the wire number for a node on schematic sheet 12, line
number 450, and third node from the left would be:

12-450C

Page 20
 CertainTeed
Note the letter C at the end of the number which would represent the third sequential
node within the rung.

b) PLC I/O Schematics

It is desired to not only have a drawing sheet number reference in the wire number but
also to have an address location identifier within the number. (Traditionally, Certain
Teed has used physical addressing in PLC applications). The format for wire numbers
will be somewhat more complex and shall force the designer to work with the PLC
programmer to coordinate address numbering. In general the format shall start with
the two digit shop order (This number is assumed and will generally not be required to
be printed, unless there would happen to be wire numbers of two shop orders
showing up on a single drawing or end up in a panel or junction box together),
followed by the two digit sheet number, followed by a 2 digit rack location, followed by
a 2 digit rack number, followed by a single digit for input/output designation, followed
by a 2 digit channel location. The format is as illustrated in detail 4.7:

Note, this wire number would be interpreted as a wire on the Oven, located on PLC
schematic sheet 11, in a Digital input module in a local rack, slot 13, channel 00. Note
also the Letter “L” refers to (and will always refer to) a local rack where the module’s
owner processor resides in. For remote located I/O (I/O out of a main chassis) a two
character designator shall be used to identify the name of that chassis. The designer
and PLC programmer must coordinate on this naming convention. For example, the
standard Contrologics Oven PLC remote panel racks for the burners were named “B1”
through “B6” (burner I/O chassis 1 through 6) and the bridge resolver I/O panels were
named “R1” through “R4” (Resolver I/O panel 1 through 4).

c) MCC Schematics

The motor control schematics will contain a mixture of Hardwired and PLC schematic
wire numbers. For numbers not created on these schematics the following format shall
be as shown on detail 4.8.

Note, this wire number represents an Oven system wire located in MCC HE1, bucket
2A landed on bucket terminal 1. Note that the dashes are shown here for clarity and
are usually omitted on the drawings and field wiring. Also note that this wire number
represents a node that was not created on a Hardwired or PLC schematic. It may be
typical of an internal wire such as a bucket Disc Aux contact.

4.12 HARDWIRED SAFETY CIRCUIT WIRE NUMBERS- traditionally, furnace gas safety wire numbers
have begun with the letters “AL”, forehearth gas safety circuits have begun with the letter “H”, and
fiberizing gas safety circuits have begun with the letter “Z”. These letters are followed by sequential
numbers 1 and up.

4.13 OTHER SYSTEM WIRING NUMBERS- certain rules have been given above for DCS and PLC control
system wire numbers, along with some general guides for furnace, forehearth and fiberizing gas safety
hardwired systems. These rules and guides will not cover all cases for work within a CertainTeed
plant. For those cases other than the above, the AE shall survey the existing drawings and field
conditions related to the AE’s Engineering project to determine what, if any, wire numbering system is
being used. The AE shall derive new wire numbers that will fit into that system.

For systems that are new and have not been covered in the above sections the AE shall have the
responsibility to deriving the new system wire numbers.

When deriving a new numbering system the AE should follow a few basic guidelines:

a) Keep number simple and short, they must fit on a tag or terminal
b) Base wire numbers on equipment wire numbers if practical
c) Always base wire numbers on tag numbers if available
d) Make system logical
e) Where there is repetition in parts of the system, use a sequential system which ties the wire
number to the line it is associated with
f) Make the system expandable

When an AE derives a new numbering scheme it shall be submitted to CertainTeed for review and
approval.

The thermocouple cables are terminated directly to these modules, with no additional
compensation required.

4.15.1 MUB ANALOG MODULE- this module is used for monitoring analog signals that are not
involved in control loops. The input level for an MUB is 1-5V DC, however 4-20mA signals
can be tied in by adding a 250-ohm precision resistor across the input terminals. These
modules are generally set up to accept isolated inputs only, and the rack provides no signal
conditioning or isolation. Signal conversion for the MUB input is generally done through Juxta
transducers located on racks in the back of the cabinets.

4.15.2 MHC ANALOG MODULE- this module is used for non-redundant analog control (eight inputs,
eight outputs) and analog signal monitoring (sixteen inputs). Signal conditioners (which
provide isolation) to match the field device signal level must be added to this module for
proper operation.

4.15.3 MHM ANALOG MODULE- this module is used for redundant, PID loop control. Each channel
is provided with an input and an output. Signal conditioners to match the field device must be
added to this module for proper operation.

shall be the same as the field wire number. This number shall be carried out throughout the
internal wiring of the panel.

The leader of the device terminal shall have the wire number on top with the from/to device
designation placed at the right or left side.

4.15.12 EXTERNAL CONTROL AND RELAY PANEL WIRING DIAGRAMS- external wiring diagrams
are required to show the interface of the panel to the field devices or control system that is
external to the panel. These drawings will show the field terminal block(s) and the external
circuits to and from the panel. The internal wiring should not be repeated on this drawing
unless the drawing is small enough where both the external and internal wiring can be shown
on the same drawing. Information to be included on this drawing are, wire numbers, terminal
blocks and terminal numbers, and circuit numbers.

7.0 DATABASE MANAGEMENT STANDARDS

7.1 COMPUTER AUTOMATED ENGINEERING (CAE)- CertainTeed’s CAE system consists of the
following components.

a) Drawing Document System (DDS)

b) Database Management System (DBMS)
c) AutoCAD Programming Tools
d) Electrical System Power Modeling
e) General Office Documents

Page 31
 CertainTeed
CertainTeed’s intent is to map out CAE strategy, standards and maintaining an open system in DBMS.
As CertainTeed standardizes on platforms and formats to be used, AE shall comply with these
standards. All standardization format and definitions will be made available to AE. All deliverables by
the AE shall include two electronic file copies of the data files. Storage medium may be in CD or 3-
1/2-inch disk format.

7.1.0 DRAWING DOCUMENT SYSTEM (DDS)- CertainTeed is in the process of evaluating DDS.
DDS will permit maintenance of drawing and link DBMS with the CAD system. DDS being
considered are as follows:

Product Company

CadLynx Atlanta System Consultants

E-PLAN
Promis-E
VIA VIA Development Corporation

These drawing documentation systems will require development of template drawings in

compliance with CertainTeed’s requirement. Template drawings used shall be in compliance
with CertainTeed drafting standards, format and required contents as outlined in Section 4 of
this design guide. Data in drawing documentation systems having direct communication link
with AutoCAD’s “.dwg” file are preferred. Minimum requirement for DDS will be the capability
of importing and exporting files in a standard delimited file format.

The documentation system is expected to assist in the development of the following drawings:

a) Three-Line Diagrams
b) Input/Output Diagrams
c) Loop Diagrams
d) Motor Schematics
e) Wiring Diagrams
f) Schedules

7.1.1 DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (DBMS)- the AE is expected to utilize DBMS to assist
in design effort. Requirement of DBMS is not intended to restrict AE’s design approach or
creativity. DBMS is a mutual benefit to AE as well as to CertainTeed. It is CertainTeed’s
desire to have the data reusable in an open system. Open systems considered will be
Microsoft Access Jet Engine, or ODBC. All other format will require approval from
CertainTeed in advance and shall be clearly identified in AE’s proposal. It is the responsibility
of the AE to provide database data in compliance with CertainTeed's format.

Database shall be based on Microsoft Access (latest version). AE may use other DBMS
software tools, however, all final data must be imported to the Access database. In addition,
required objects such as tables, queries, forms and reports shall be provided to permit
CertainTeed to access the data. If certain forms or reports require macros and modules
(Access Basic programs), these objects shall be provided as well, to permit viewing and
printing of the final data. Compiled Version of Visual Basic, C++ or Access Developer’s
version of the database is an acceptable interface. However, data must be kept in Access Jet
Engine format.

Schedules shall be performed in DBMS. For occasions where the project does not warrant
the use of DBMS to create short schedules/lists for economical reasons, AE shall obtain
approval from CertainTeed and clearly identify such design strategy in the proposal. The
following are known applications that are required to be perform in a database management
system:

a) Drawing List

 CertainTeed
b) Bill of Materials
c) Circuit Schedules
d) Raceway Schedules
e) Input/Output Lists
f) Instrument List
g) Panel Schedules
h) Motor Control Center Schedules

Generation of drawings based on DBMS is required. CertainTeed expects all schedules and
lists in a table format on drawings to be dynamically linked. Data maybe changed either in the
drawings or DBMS and updated automatically. For review and submittal purposes drawing
format of these schedules are not required. Drawings are required for bid documents and final
as-builts.

7.1.2 AUTOCAD PROGRAMMING TOOLS- CertainTeed encourages AE to fully utilize AutoCAD

capability to increase efficiency and quality of the design effort. It is expected that AE will take
advantage of AutoCAD’s macros, script, AutoLISP and ASE capabilities.

7.1.3 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM POWER MODELING- for power distribution projects electrical system
modeling shall be performed utilizing an electrical system modeling tool. The electrical system
model shall provide the following data in a report format:

a) Load flow analysis

b) Cable and transformer sizing report
c) Voltage drop calculation
d) Short circuit
e) Coordination Study

AE shall setup and/or update the electrical system to reflect the design and as-built conditions.
Data used in the existing electrical system model shall be included in the overall report’s
appendixes. All assumptions, references and special conditions shall be clearly identified. It
is the responsibility of the AE to confirm and size equipment in accordance with good
engineering practices so that there are no warning flags within in the computer generated
reports. When it is not possible to eliminate warning flag(s) in a report(s), the AE shall provide
full explanation of why a flag occurred. If a warning flag can be ignored, the AE shall provide
full explanation in the overall report. Warning flag which identify equipment outside AE’s
scope of work shall be brought to CertainTeed’s attention.

7.1.4 GENERAL OFFICE DOCUMENTS- all work performed in word processor, spreadsheet, and
database software shall be based on Microsoft Word, Excel and Access. This requirement is
intended to permit AE and CertainTeed to exchange data files without requiring translation
and reformat. The Microsoft Office Professional package contains these software programs
and is readily available.

7.2 SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING CONFIDENTIALLY- unless stated otherwise, when scope of work
specifically identifies the development of a program and CertainTeed is to maintain the ownership of
the program, the AE may not use, distribute, or disclose the source code of the program without
approval from CertainTeed.
