Glass Batching Programs. User's Guide and System Programmer Documentation

摘要

This document describes the computer programs MTABLE, SHEET, MIX, and LOG which are used to calculate the weights of the necessary ingredients to produce a specified batch of glass or glass ceramic material and to store glass batching, melting, and forming information. These are interactive Fortran 77 programs written for use on the VAX computer. MTABLE provides a method for updating a master index of original compounds and finished products. SHEET is used to specify the ingredience of a batch and to select the fabrication and testing steps. Program MIX completes the batching calculations and prints the the results in the form of melt sheets. Program LOG provides a ''log-book'' of information regarding all the melt sheets.
