Multiply the height (C) by the number of pressure rings. Add heights (A) & (B), male and
female adaptors. The result will be overall stack height of a given set. Inversely, to
determine the number of rings for a given height, subtract (A) & (B) and divide the
difference by (C). The result is the number of rings required.
