The answer to this question will be painfully obvious to most folks here but I'm a tad on the slow side!
I have a hydraulic shop press with a air/hydraulic pump and a 1 1/2" ram. Mounted between ram and pump is a pressure gauge. If I press an object and see 1000 psi on the gauge, then the force at the end of the ram is 1000 X 1.767, or 1767 pounds of force! Is this correct?
If that is indeed correct, is there simple way to have a gauge read actual ram force as opposed to applied PSI. Maybe a 'corrected overlay' glued to the front of the gauge!
