How to Calculate and Solve for Batch Calculation Factor | Glass Making Technology
Last Updated on March 8, 2021
The image above represents batch calculation factor.
To compute for batch calculation factor, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Molecular Weight of Raw Material (Mw) and Oxide Factor (OF).
The formula for calculating batch calculation factor:
F = Mw / OF
Where:
F = Batch Calculation Factor
Mw = Molecular Weight of Raw Material
OF = Oxide Factor
Let’s solve an example;
Find the batch calculation factor when the molecular weight of raw material is 30 and the oxide factor is 15.
This implies that;
Mw = Molecular Weight of Raw Material = 30
OF = Oxide Factor = 15
F = Mw / OF
F = 30 / 15
F = 2
Therefore, the batch calculation factor is 2.
Calculating the Molecular Weight of Raw Material when the Batch Calculation Factor and the Oxide Factor is Given.
Mw = F x OF
Where;
Mw = Molecular Weight of Raw Material
F = Batch Calculation Factor
OF = Oxide Factor
Let’s solve an example;
Find the molecular weight of raw material when the batch calculation factor is 14 and the oxide factor is 10.
This implies that;
F = Batch Calculation Factor = 14
OF = Oxide Factor = 10
Mw = F x OF
Mw = 14 x 10
Mw = 140
Therefore, the molecular weight of raw material is 140.
Calculating the Oxide Factor when the Batch Calculation Factor and the Molecular Weight of Raw Material is Given.
OF = Mw / F
Where;
OF = Oxide Factor
F = Batch Calculation Factor
Mw = Molecular Weight of Raw Material
Let’s solve an example;
Find the oxide factor when the batch calculation factor is 32 and molecular weight of raw material is 80.
This implies that;
F = Batch Calculation Factor = 32
Mw = Molecular Weight of Raw Material = 80
OF = Mw / F
OF = 80 / 32
OF = 2.5
Therefore, the oxide factor is 2.5.
