I suck at math, so I use WE Assistance to do the plotting for me. I used to feel guilty about this, but now with H.sie's mod he sometimes gets it wrong and always gives general rather than specific numbers.

I also use H.sie's Hull Integrity mod, which gives generalities as well. It's color-coded to give a rough idea of how well the pressure hull is doing, but nothing specific.
