What is the correct roller rubber size for platen presses?

I’m here at a roller company and they have no idea what the correct diameter for roller rubber is for a westman baker platen press. Does anyone know the exact measurement for the roller diameter (the rubber not the core).

Thank you all.

Elle, probably too late, but it should be about 1/16 inch larger overall than your roller wheels or trucks (diameter, not radius). That assumes that the roller bearers or rails on your press are type height above the bed.
