From memory isn’t the ‘standard’ pressurisation height 8000 feet?

I took an altimeter on board a number of aircraft and checked from time to time. I found 747 400 pressurised to about 6500’, but older aircraft go higher.

I recall several postings a while back on cabin pressures in commercial flights.  The discussion was around typical cabin pressures.  I’m interested in knowing more about typical pressures in luggage compartments, and specifically about the rate of change of pressure during a flight.  Anyone know somebody who could point me at a source of logged pressurization graphs? Or even a specification for how transported goods must be able to cope with pressure changes?

Cheers
