Q: How accurate are the pressure readings on this gauge? A: The gauge provides +/- 2.5% accuracy tolerance, meeting standard requirements for shop force measurements. The wet-type design maintains consistent readings by dampening vibrations and protecting internal components from mechanical shock during press operations. This accuracy level supports repeatable results in bearing installation and metal forming tasks.

Q: What does the wet-type design mean for durability? A: Wet-type gauges contain liquid filling that dampens vibrations and protects internal components from mechanical shock and temperature fluctuations. This design extends gauge life in shop environments where hydraulic presses create vibration and impact forces during operation. The liquid filling also helps maintain measurement accuracy over extended use compared to standard dry gauges.

Q: Does this gauge show both pressure and force measurements? A: Yes, the dial displays internal hydraulic pressure in PSI and corresponding pounds of force at the ram end simultaneously. This dual-scale feature eliminates manual calculations, allowing operators to monitor both pressure input and force output directly during operations. The 4-inch face provides clear visibility for both measurement scales during pressing tasks.
