3.3 Yield & Material Types

PSI: 

The PSI on the X axis refers to the pressure at your bag, not the compressed air pressure that is available from 

your air compressor. 

While the Pikes Peak V2 and Longs Peak can automatically calculate bag pressure, the formula is as follows: 
(Pressing Force / Bag Area (sq inches) = PSI at the Bag

Example:

(9,000 LBF) / (12 square inch bag) = 750 PSI at the bag

Note:

 Some strains tend to yield very well, 

whereas others may not. Try not to get 
discouraged if your yields aren’t what you 
expected on your first press. Heavily 
resinous, terpene-rich strains will always 
yield the highest quality rosin!
