no. it depends upon too many variables.

size of blank
thickness of blank
size of ring opening
how far you want to drop it
is it going to land on the shelf or be suspended

basically, you fire it at a low-temp slumping schedule for a piece the size of your blank, look into the kiln, and vent to stop movement when it gets to where you like what it looks like.
