(ii) What does the gage read when the platen is approaching the material to be pressed? 

(iii) Assuming that the system relief valve is set for 1000 psi and that the movement of the cylinder rod is severely restricted once the platen contacts the material to be crushed. What is the maximum pressing force if the platen moves through the material during the pressing operation?
