The sizing of ink sac's is in units of 64th's of an inch. Therefore a size 16 is 16 / 64th's of an inch in diameter.
In this metric era it's a little difficult to measure in that format.
The above table of sac sizes has been converted to the nearest metric mm equivalent.
If the size of the sac peg fall between two sizes choose the smaller size sac.
How to fit a sac
SHELLAC should be used to fit the sac to the peg.
Once set dust the sac with
FRENCH CHALK and refit the section into the barrel.
If the section is a little loose, a dab of Shellac can be used to ensure a secure fit.
