Geometry is right, but there is also another trick you can use. If you use a longer-stroke cylinder (we use 11") and don't retract it all of the way, you'll have a volume chamber right in the cylinder you can fill to 60 psi before you release. Also, yes, the other side of the cylinder should be open to atm.
