Principle
The raw materials mixture for glass melting is termed "batch". The batch must be measured properly to achieve a given, desired glass formulation. This batch calculation is based on the common linear regression equation:
with NB and NG being the molarities 1-column matrices of the batch and glass components respectively, and B being the batching matrix. The symbol "T" stands for the matrix transpose operation, "-1" indicates matrix inversion, and the sign "·" means the scalar product. From the molarities matrices N, percentages by weight (wt%) can easily be derived using the appropriate molar masses.
