Calculating Batch Weights With A Programmable Microcalculator (English)

In order to calculate or adjust batch weights, it is necessary to solve a system of linear equations whose number is usually the same as that of the raw material components. This paper proposes a method which would make it possible to automate the calculation of batch weights with a programmable microcalculator and a practical program is also given. The method was worked out using either the Elektronika BZ-34 microcalculator or analogous models. It is simple to handle and requires no specialised mathematical knowledge.
