Result Interpretation

Offset Press Blanket Cylinder Compression Set Depth Calculator computes Compression set depth in m using the defined engineering formula and the input values provided. Compression set depth is expressed in m. No universal acceptance threshold is defined by this calculator.

Worked Example

Verified calculation

Given:

  • Initial blanket thickness = 0.0032
  • Thickness after 24h recovery at standard conditions = 0.00318
  • Cumulative impression cycles = 250000
  • Blanket compression set time constant = 1000000

Expected Result:

  • Compression set depth = 4.9396E-5

Engineering Interpretation:

Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Compression set depth = 4.9396E-5 m.

The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from automatically validated test cases.

Formula / Method

compression set depth = (initial blanket thickness - thickness after 24h recovery at standard conditions) * (1.0 - exp(-cumulative impression cycles / blanket compression set time constant))
