Embalmer

[Nov 2020       Release 9]

Embalmer primarily calculates the volume of embalming concentrate for a required amount of embalming fluid.  Embalmer can also calculate any of the other three parameters shown in Standard Mode by dragging that parameter down to the Result Bar.

There are two modes: Standard and Extended, each mode operates in Metric, U.S. and Imperial units. 

In addition a simple calculator is included.

Standard Mode:

In Standard Mode there are three parameters, the amount of fluid required, the Concentrate Index and the required Diluted Index.   The amount of Concentrate is calculated from these inputs.

Extended Mode:

In Extended Mode there are two additional inputs, Body Weight and a VolumePerWeight factor.  The required volume of required fluid is calculated from these two inputs.  The volume of concentrate is subsequently calculated.  If the required volume figure is manually entered the VolumePerWeight factor is reverse calculated and the new figure used for further calculations.

 Calculator Help

Number Entry

The number keys [0] to [9] and decimal point key are used to enter numbers.  To enter a negative number, press [⁺/_-] after entering the number.

The [DEL] key deletes the last digit entered and can be used to correct a number or exponent.

The [C] key clears the display ready for a new calculation.

Exponents 

To enter a number with an exponent, press [EXP] then enter the exponent using the number keys and the [⁺/_-]  key.

Memory

The memory has four function keys.

[MS] stores the current display value.

[MR] recalls the value stored in memory to the display.

[M+] adds the current display value to the memory.

[M-] subtracts the current display value from the memory.

Arithmetic Calculations

Arithmetic calculations are as shown below:

Key strokes                 Display

[7][+][9][=]       ==> [          16]

[9][-][3][=]        ==> [            6]

[7][*][9][=]       ==> [          63]

[9][/][6][=]        ==> [         1.5]

Days Function

Days Function has two modes.

(i)      Calculates the date from a start date and N days.

(ii)     Calculates the number of days between two dates.

Dates are entered in a six digit format, ddMMyy without separators.

IE: 23 August 2020 is entered as 230820

If 0 is used as a date, today’s date will be used.

Example 1 Calculate the date 33 days from today.

Assume the current date to be 23 Aug 20.

With “0” on the display, press the [+] key, the [Days] key appears in place of the [X^2] key.

Enter “33” and press the [Days] key. The date “Fri 25 Sep. 2020” is displayed.

Example 2 Calculate the date 90 days from 4 Oct 2019.

Enter “041019”, press the [+] key, the [Days] key appears in place of the [X^2] key.

Enter “90” and press the [Days] key. The date “Thu 2 Jan. 2020” is displayed.

Example 3 Calculate the number of days between today and 25 Dec 2020

Assume the current date to be 23 Aug 20.

With “0” on the display, press the [-] key, the [Days] key appears in place of the [X^2] key.

Enter “251220” and press the [Days] key. “124 Days” is displayed.

Percentage Calculations

Percentage calculations are as shown below:

Key strokes                     Display

[7][+][5][%]        ==> [         7.35] Adds 5% to the display value

[9][-][10][%]       ==> [           8.1] Reduces display value by 10%

[20][*][15][%]    ==> [               3] Returns 15% of value to the display

[8][/][16][%]       ==> [             50] Returns the value of the division as a percentage   

Functions

Key strokes            Display

[9][_^/]          ==> [            3] Returns the sqrt. of value to the display

[9][X²]        ==> [           81] Returns the value squared of value to the display

[8][¹/_x]         ==> [      0.125] Returns the reciprocal of value to the display
