    We run anywhere from .058 to .062 depending on the thickness of the blanket. You will need to gauge the cylinder without anything on it, then figure out what the blanket mics out at, then that will give you the packing thickness. As for setting the pressure you will need to run breakaways and see where it ends up, we have 4 of these presses and none of them are the same.

    I believe U.S. spec. is .133 total so michaelgd is right there. KBA will spec. .002" over pack as it will settle upon production.
